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

Product Information

As mentioned earlier, the 12-pin power connector is the latest technology necessary for NVIDIA’s 3000 series graphics cards. Because there were relatively few PSUs with a 12-pin power connector on the launch of the 3000 series, NVIDIA included a dual 8-pin to 12-pin adapter with its product. SATA to 6-Pin PCI-E Adapter Cable There are often compatibility issues when building a PC, and power connectors are no different. Fortunately, computers are made by engineers who like to modify hardware that isn’t suited to their needs by default. Typically, the power connectors demanded by the graphics card always come along with PSUs. However, in many cases, when the GPUs get developed too advanced than the PSUs, the manufacturers offer you power connectors and adapters to make the GPU compatible.

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

I used a splitter to get to the three GPUs and im aware that the maximum power recommended its arround 290W.Second all holes do not need to be populated on the power supply side. 8 pin can 100% function with just 6 pins being used on the power supply side, because two of the pins are just for sensing ground. Yes! 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.

Are you confused between 6-Pin, 8-Pin, and 12-Pin GPU power connected? If yes, then this article is for you. Below in this article, we have shared everything you need to know about those types of power connectors.PCI-e organization imposed the limits of 75 watts for the 6 pin connector, and 150 watts for the 8 pin connector. The reason why NVIDIA uses 12-pin GPU cables is to offer more power to the GPUs along with consistent cooling. The new 12-pin GPU cables are more compact and take the same size as an 8-pin. This saves you space and allows more cooling inside the next-generation graphics system. In such cases, the graphics card draws 75 watts of power from the PCIe x16 connector, and the additional 75 watts of power get extracted from the 6-pin connectors. One hundred fifty watts of power supply is precise and more than expected for several GPUs. But there are also graphic cards that draw 320 or 750 watts of power. These are usually high-end power-hungry GPUs that demand power for superfast data transmission. If your standard PSU has a 4-pin Molex connector and is not compatible with the new-age graphics system, this adapter cable helps you with compatibility. The 4-pin Molex to 8-Pin PCIe adapter cable connects one end with your four-pin Molex pin. Then the other end connects with your 8-pin GPU to draw 150 watts of power supply externally. 4-Pin Molex To 8-Pin PCI-E Power Adapter Cable NVIDIA’s new RTX 3000 series are compatible with the 12-pin connectors. NVIDIA eventually developed an efficient cable system, as it needed cables to draw more power externally for its GPUs. So, a power-hungry graphic solution came rather with a compact solution.
