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

Product Information

The ATX 12V or the 4-pin CPU connector supplies electrical current to the CPU and is mandatory to connect to the motherboard. You can do this if you’re not utilizing the EPS12V connector. For instance, having an E6400 @3.4GHz and running without problems using a 300W doesn’t mean a similar result may be present for you. Upgrading it may work for you but maybe catastrophic for another person. Yes! You can definitely use a 6+2 pins cable for the 8 pins GPU; in fact, the PSU 6+2 Pin cables are designed in a way so that you can install both types of GPUs a 6-pin GPU as well as an 8-pin GPU.

Taking into account the above mentioned stuff do you still confirm it is proper to use 2x6pin to 8pin adapter? Two of those would be a lot more costly than the other options. I don’t have any spare molex or sata connections left to use. The 8-pin power connector can deliver a maximum of 150W to your graphics card. So if your graphics card power consumption is more than 150W then it will definitely come with an 8-pin connector or two 6-pin connectors. A graphics card with one 8-pin power connector can get a maximum of 225W of power, 75W from the PCI Express x16 slot, and 150W from the 8-pin connector from the power supply. The latest High-end graphics cards come with the 8-pin power connector and some of the power-hungry top-end graphics cards can have both 6-pin and 8-pin connectors or two 8-pin connectors. A graphics card with both 6-pin and 8-pin connectors can have a maximum power consumption of 300 Watt (75W + 75W + 150W).

actually this 6 pin connector PCIe female is in gpu(graphics card) , and I am getting a cable with the graphics card where on one side you have male PCIe(this will go into the graphics card) and on the other side you just have a molex connector(just one molex connector) Looking closely at a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector, you notice that the 8-pin has two extra ground pins. Both of them have three pins supplying +12V.

but on the other hand here (also nvidia forum) we can read that 2xpin to 8pin adapter isn’t safe at all: Different adapters are available in the market; which one you need depends on many factors. Below, I mentioned all those factors- 6 Pin to 8 Pin Adapter my question : so when there is a molex connector in the power cable for the graphics card, how are you going to give it power? it has to come from PSU right? So basically, a 6 pin connector must only be able to do 75 watts, or around 2A per pair of wires, around 1 fourth of the maximum capability of the connector.But, because of the matching 12V cables, sometimes, if you use a 6-pin cable for an 8-pin GPU, then your graphics card can run. Let’s dive deeper into this by taking the example of the RTX 2060 GPU. The card I’m looking at requires 2 x 8-PIN connectors. I guess I could get a 2 x 6-Pin to 8-Pin Y cable, and also a 2 x Molex to 8-PIN Y cable, this should according to my calcs give me 282W of power which exceeds the 250W requirement of the card, however I don’t fully understand how the dual rail thing works and the fact that each rail is limited to 18A.

Most of the time, the PSU’s 8-pin cable will be split into (6+2) pins, so you can use the 6-pin and leave 2 pins. Dell 5610 and 3610 have twin 6 pin cables to run quadro graphic cards. The K6000 quadro uses twin 6 pin and has a TDP of 225 watts.In combination, the RTX 2060 GPU will get (75W + 75W)= a total of 150W power, where the requirement is 175W. Most of the time, the GPU will not work; in some cases, if it works, then your GPU will not perform up to expectations.
