CORSAIR Launches ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600W 12V-2×6 Cable to Help Protect GPUs from Overheating

MILPITAS, CA, April 28, 2026 CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) is proud to announce the launch of ThermalProtect, a 12V-2×6 GPU power cable featuring innovative technology that monitors the temperature of a GPU’s power cable in real time to help prevent damage to the GPU.

CORSAIR THERMALPROTECT

ThermalProtect enables additional Over Temperature Protection (OTP) for GPUs by actively monitoring the 12V-2×6 cable. Housed discreetly inside a cable comb 30mm from the connection point, the hardware offers a clean, unobtrusive appearance. If the sensor detects extreme temperatures, ThermalProtect activates, causing the GPU to shut down to prevent potential damage. 

THERMALPROTECT PCIE 5.1 600W 12V-2×6 CABLE

The first product featuring ThermalProtect is a 12V-2×6 GPU power cable compatible with any power supply with a native 12V-2×6 connector. It offers broad compatibility with modern systems and provides gamers with an easy replacement that adds peace of mind. Installation is easy, as it requires no user configuration and is always active. Once connected, the cable operates as a fully plug-and-play solution.

High-Quality GPU Protection

The ThermalProtect 12V-2×6 cable is a premium component for DIY PC builders, offering a flexible design for precise routing of the cable from the power supply to the GPU. The cable features a debossed design for a professional look, enhancing system aesthetics. Compared to multi-cable adapters, a single GPU power cable offers a cleaner installation and can improve internal airflow with reduced cable clutter. Additionally, the cable has dual-tone connectors with grey tips for visual confirmation of a secure connection.

The ThermalProtect 12V-2×6 cable is available in black or white and is 650mm long, providing ample room for easy cable routing and the ability to blend in or stand out in any build.

Availability, Warranty and Pricing

The CORSAIR ThermalProtect 12V-2×6 cable is available immediately from the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors, and the CORSAIR webstore.

The CORSAIR ThermalProtect 12V-2×6 cable is backed by a two-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.
