Cable Matters 2-Pack 6 Pin to 8 Pin PCIe Adapter Power Cable - 4 Inches

If you have a power supply that only has a 6-volt output, you can use it. pin PCI- e connector, as well as an 8-bit graphics card. The adapter will allow you to PHYSICALLY connect your power supply to your graphics card. Keep in mind that a 6-pin connector is not compatible with a 6-pin connector. The pin cable is for providing up to an additional 75W to the card, and using this adapter will not magically raise the limit to that of an actual 8-pin connector. 150W would be added if you used a pin cable. br>br>To figure out which graphics card to use, you must first figure out how much power can be drawn over the PCI-Express bus. e slot in which your graphics card is plugged in (typically 75W, but less for some small form factor PCs), as well as the maximum power your power supply can deliver. As a result, you must conduct research and double-check the specifications. You can safely use this adapter with an appropriate graphics card if you understand these constraints and use software like MSI Afterburner to limit the peak power consumption of a GPU. br>br>In my case, I am using this adapter for an EVGA GTX 1660 TI (8-core) graphics card. pin PCI- e connector) to an HP Z240 Tower workstation with a 400W 80 platinum rated power supply (6-pin connector) pin PCI- e. g. , a connector or a cable). I'd like to keep the GPU's power draw under 150W (75W over the 6-cell battery) for the Z240. pin PCI- e from the 75W PSU to the PCI- e slot). The EVGA card's spec claims a power draw of up to 160W (overclocked compared to reference Nvidia). So I use MSI Afterburner to power limit the GPU at 90% in order to kept the max power draw to 150W.

I've been using these to power my 1080Ti graphics card and have had no problems so far. I have a HP Z420 Workstation in which I installed a 1080Ti GPU. My factory-supplied power supply only has two PCI slots. My 1080Ti has a pair of 8-pin connectors, whereas the E has six. I used this to make the connection, and it appears to be working fine; my PSU is 600W, so I have plenty of power, and my card runs at 190-200 MHz. It should be able to pull 75 watts through the PCI-E connector at 250 watts. I used my 16x spot and my 6 pins for the rest. If I have any problems, I will update my review, but for the time being, I am very pleased.

These 6- 8 pin adapters were exactly what I needed, plus a little more! I only required one, but at this price, I was able to purchase two! As a result, I now have a spare GPU for when my family's computer needs another GPU. br>This adapter was used in a more recent model (Core i5-based). HP Pavilion (model 8500) is a desktop computer manufactured by HP. There was only one PCIE cable on the included power supply, and it was 6-foot long. pin. This adapter plug was added so that I could install a GTX 1660 Super. Everything appears to be in order. Nothing is on fire, and everything appears to be in working order.

To plug it in, you'll need a pin connection! I had two six-pin connectors and was looking for a converter when I came across these. I ordered them, and they arrived two days later. Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, I proceeded to connect the other adapter to the other six-pin connector. I had a pin because I didn't want to lose it if I ever needed it. Before converting your connectors, double-check that your power supply has enough juice to run your device.

Between these and the SATA-compatible hard drives, there's a lot to choose from. PCIe adapters, I've got a "jank setup" that would make many system builders faint. br>br>However, I've put these to the test using a digital multimeter as well as extended use under sustained power delivery. They've held up well over months of use, and under a digital thermometer, there's little to no heating. br>br>If you're familiar with the PCIe 6-bit standard, pin vs 8- The 8-pin and the 4-pin have the same number of power pins. Only two ground pins are added to the pin connector, one of which can be used as a sense pin. Electrically, this type of adapter should be fine, and GPU manufacturers have even included them in the past in-box. box.

It did exactly what I needed it to do. My power supply had enough wattage for my video card upgrade, but I only had two 6 pin connectors from my previous video card; I plugged one of these into one of the 6 pins, and the video card powered up immediately. At the time of writing, there were no issues.

The quality was excellent; all of the jacks and plugs within the connector were centered, and when both ends were connected, they "felt right. " br>br>Make sure your power supply can handle the current your new card requires; If that's the case, this adaptor cable will perform as expected.

I'm using an HP Z800 workstation that's been around for a while. It includes graphics card power supplies with 3x3, 6 pin connectors. br>br>I recently purchased a new graphics card, which significantly improves the Z800's capabilities. However,. br>br> To power the new card, you'll need a 4x4, 8-pin power adapter. br>br>This adapter saved my system and it works great! br>br>I wholeheartedly endorse it.
