I noticed Der8auer had an "Asus Equalizer" video out, testing Asus's supposed solution to the cable debacle. Admittedly, I pulled a Linus and mostly ended up reading the comments on that video and found out it's essentially snake oil.

I know some power supply brands have power supplies out that advertise safer solutions and whatnot, but now learning that not all of them are legit, does anybody know if any of them legitimately work?

Backstory: I upgraded to an RTX 5080 from an RTX 3090 in March. I'm too afraid to sell the 3090 incase the 5080 cable melts and the ram shortages price me out of the market. I do not use LLM's. I'm an anxious mofo who will pay extra for peace of mind, but I don't have a lot of time to keep sinking into reading on cables and PSU's right now, and I kinda need a homie who has already looked this up to help a brother out.
