kenable 8 Pin PCI Express PCIe Power Cable from Dual 4 Pin Molex LP4 Adapter

Product Information

The PCI-e limitation of 150 watts is chosen to allow 2 8 pin connectors on a single cable coming from power supply - keep in mind that there's ONE connector plugged into the power supply, usually with 3 or 4 pairs of 12v wires which are then shared between those 2 connectors. So, 2 x 150w max = 300w max, which is within the reasonably safety limits of the connectors on the power supply end (if the power supply is modular) That is why it is not recommended to use the cables from another PSU. In cas of doubt, you can simply plus the cable in the PSU and make sure the GND and +12V It is common in traditional PSUs, and the modern-age PSUs employ PCIe connectors. If you have SATA connectors and want compatibility with your 6-pin GPU, you can use SATA to 6-Pin PCI-E Adapter Cable. This power adapter cable offers you compatibility with SATA connectors and draws more than 150 watts of power for your GPU. 6. SATA to 8-Pin PCI-E Adapter Cable SATA to 8-Pin PCI-E Adapter Cable It is very common to find cable with dual connectors but not an Y cable, instead you get the second connector extended (daisy chained) from the first one.

Sea Sonic Cable Configuration - Sea Sonic

This cable uses a double 4-pin connections and adjusts them to an 8-pin connection. 4-pin to 8-pin is something that will probably be handy with advanced graphics cards. 6-Pin to 8-Pin PCI-E Adapter Cable The 6-pin graphics connector is usually common in lower and mid-range graphics units. As the name says, the connectors have six-pin connecting slots with a 4.2 mm pitch. These GPU connectors can directly draw up to 75 watts from an external power source. The power even comes bypassing the motherboard. Six-pin GPU connectors are suitable when a graphics card demands a minimum of 150 watts of power. 6-Pin GPU Cable Any Standard motherboard of a CPU nowadays comes with a PCIe x16 connector. This connector mentioned above has 16 slots to offer power to GPUs. In the PCIe x16 connector, the maximum power supply you can expect is 75 watts. Using high-profile graphics cards like RTX 3080 can load the motherboard and consume more power. SATA can also be adapted to an 8-pin power connector. In this scenario, there will be two SATA connectors for one 8-pin connector. Important Note About AdaptersYes! You can connect a 6-pin GPU to an 8-pin connector. However, you must do it right. Any mistake can result in a fire hazard, and however, it is always wise to upgrade or switch the cables.

HotTopStar PCI-Express PCIE 8 Pin to Dual 8 (6+2) Pin

The eight-pin GPU will convert the power source from the Molex pin and transmit them to GPU. 4-pin Molex to 8-Pin PCIe power adapter cables are precise for all PSUs integrating to mid-range and high-end GPUs. 3. 6-Pin To 8-Pin PCI-E Adapter Cable WARNING: Due to the electrical pinout of each cable and the unique electrical pinout designed for your power supply, using this cable with a non-certified or unsupported power supply may cause irreparable harm to your power supply, cable, and/or any connected devices. Use of this cable with any non-certified or unsupported EVGA power supplies or power supplies from another manufacture voids the warranty for this cable, and may void the warranty of your power supply. Furthermore, EVGA expressly disclaims any damage caused by or attributed to use of this cable with any power supplies that are not certified for use with this cable.The wires can handle higher currents, up to 10-13A per wire, with reasonable heating (for example at 10A, the individual wires may heat from 25c ambient to 40c if spread out, maybe 50c in a bundle (ex under a sleeve wrapping the whole 8 wires) . They can do more if you don't mind bigger voltage drops and higher temperatures (the insulation is typically rated for at least 85c) After introducing 12-pin connectors, NVIDIA also worked for its PSUs with less than 12-pin connectors. Thus, it has also released adapters with two x6 pin connectors. Adapters Or Converters For Connectors
