Load regulation is super tight, and I didn’t notice any issues at 12V with 230V input, as I did in the SF1000L.

  1. Is the included 12VHPWR cable sufficient/safe for powering an RTX 4090 FE or should a 3×8 cable/adapter still be used? If it is sufficient and totally safe, does the manual specify which ports to use or doesn’t that matter?
