Be Quiet PSU 12pin adaptor (Any info?)

If I read what's on the internet right, then I cant see Bequiet releasing 12pin adaptors. Reason being is I think the 12pin connector is exclusive to the 3XXX founders edition cards (3rd party cards have 2 or 3 standard 8pin Connectors) the Founders Edition cards will have 2 8pin to 12 pin adaptors anyway. Last thing Nvidia wants is people to buy their new cards & people cant power them because they do not have the right connecting lead.

Just send a message to BeQuiet's tech support: https://www.bequiet.com/en/contact/service
They will emailing back asking for a proof you purchased an 3000 series FE card and will send you the 12 pin cable free of charge!

Are they still doing this? Might sway me towards them for my new psu.
Man of Honour
Don't be persuaded to buy a psu just because the manufacturer provides a free cable that you don't need (only Founder Edition cards require this cable and Nvidea supplies one in the box) as there are far more important things to consider when buying a psu. BeQuiet has some fine psu's in it's line up but they are overpriced and have short warranties compared to their competitors. BeQuiets psu's mostly have tight fisted 3 and 5 year warranties and it is only the recently released Dark Power Pro 12 Titanium models that now come with a 10 year warranty. The likes of Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair, Phanteks (rebadged Seasonic) and a couple of others have been offering 10 and even 12 year warranties on certain models for quite some time now. Superflower are mostly 7 years and Bitfenix is 5 and 7 years and Bitfenix is regarded as the budget end!

They are still doing this AFAIK.
I sleeved the cable they sent me and it looks pretty good https://photos.app.goo.gl/a1CH8DmXMQ4bW1wx6
