kenable PCI Express PCIe 6 Pin to 8 Pin Graphics Card Power Adapter Cable 10cm

Product Information

Wait that's not a six pin socket - and it wasn't about to let me fit the extra six pin power which was originally intended for a second card in an SLI configuration. back then with that HD 3870 X2, I can't even understand how that old HEC 300W ran it without problems.

The Cable Matters 6-Pin PCI to 8-pin Adapter Power Cable provides a convenient solution for powering a video graphics card from a PSU with only a 6-PIn PCIe power connection. I am running them with a 3060Ti that pulls 240W and they don't get overly hot or anything like that. These adapters I bought were very easy to install, the connectors were of great quality so no issues getting them to fit their respective plug or socket on my PC.

They’re extraordinarily complex pieces of engineering and production, and the end result contains more transistors than multiple modern x86 processors.

If a product develops a fault within its warranty period you are entitled to a repair, refund or replacement at our discretion. The PCIE specs say that 8-pin socket should deliver up to 150W of power, while 6 pin one only up to 75W, so both your PSU and card may not be happy - PSU overcurrent protection may kick in or a bad PSU may break during high GPU workload.

They're only short (about four inches in old money) and connect the older 6-pin PCie power converting it into an 8-pin affair.

Whether you’re using a laptop with limited ports or you need to connect a device but don’t have the right connection available, USB hubs can solve all your problems! NVIDIA also advises against its use since many power supplies will not provide sufficient current over the 6-pin power cable. The PCIEX68ADAP PCI Express 6 pin to 8 pin power adapter cable lets you connect a standard 6-pin PCI Express power connection provided by the computer power supply to ATI and NVidia video cards that require an 8 pin power connection. Established in 1932, our range has steadily expanded over the years and we’re now proud to bring you a comprehensive range of computer and AV connection technologies. My friend also has the same system as mine but with a GTX 1080 and his GPU came with a dual 6 pin to 8 pin adapter and it works fine.
