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

I have some HP Z-series workstations. These have beefy 1150W power supplies, but only three 6 pin power cables (no 8-pin). The 6 pin cables run over 150W per cable, though, unlike most system (in other words, they are way more powerful than the nominal spec).Anyway, modern video cards all require 6+8 or 2x8 power adapters. What to do? Well, the easy thing is to use a 6-> 8 pin adapter. Since the power supply on the HP is sending well over the 8-pin spec along that rail, it's no problem.I first tried some budget cables I got off an auction site. They look great, and the wire casings are nice and thick, but as soon as I put stress on the video card, they got VERY hot. Cutting one open reveals very thin wire. No good.So I got these Cable Matters cables. They actually aren't much more expensive than the cables they are replacing. And these work GREAT. The cables do not heat up at all, even under full stress load. Nice.I will only use these cables from now on.

Used them to connect my RTX 3070 gpu to my Dell 5810 tower. Worked perfectly

Very nicely put together. Quality product, no defects.

Upgraded my GPU from a 1650 to 4060 and didn't know it was 8-pin only while my PSU only has a 6-pin. The computer didn't even recognize the GPU, I was so upset! After an embarrassingly long time looking for solutions, I figured I should just spend the $10 on an adapter cord. Got it in 2 days, plugged it in easily with no problems with the connection or quality of the wires, hooked up my monitor to the GPU and after opening my driver's and refreshing, I swear I heard the hallelujah chorus as the 4060 appeared under my drivers. I booted up FFXIV to test it and the difference was like night and day. Well worth the $10 and you get two of them!

I needed the adapter to upgrade my nephews PC from an RX480 to a GTX1070. I ordered these and they arrived the next day. I was a little concerned about whether this adapter would deliver the power consistently since we're not adding more rails, just splitting existing rails.Upon installing them, after a strange glitch on the initial boot, the PC started back up without any problems, seemed to work just fine. Time will tell how they hold up, I certainly wouldn't install these on a GPU I couldn't afford to replace pretty easily, but they seem to do the trick.The only things you may have an issue with are cosmetic, they're ugly, but if you're using one of these you probably weren't doing an aesthetic build anyhow.

I have a XPS 8900, wanted to install a RTX 2060 but found the PSU only had a 6 pin connection. With this, I was able to plug in the adapter and install the video card. Works great!

When I upgraded to a new NVIDEA video card, I discovered it required power connectors that my power supply did not have. This left me searching for a solution because I didn't want to replace my existing PSU. Lo and behold, these Cable Matters 6-pin to 12-pin adapter cables were just what I needed!Installation was easy - just plug one end into my existing cables and the other end into the new GPU. The snug fit provided a secure connection and the 4 inch length minimized excess cord without putting strain on the components.PROS:Easy plug and play installationSnug fit prevents loose connectionsShort 4 inch length prevents messy wiresPack of 2 provides a backup cable or one for a friend, etc.CONS:Not as sleek as a single 12-pin cableWith my new power hungry GPU now adequately powered, I was able to move past that hurdle. Unfortunately, my new video card wasn't compatible with my older system and I ended up returning it (and these cables too), but that was not a fault of these cables and now I'll keep them in mind for future needs.For anyone looking to connect a new high wattage GPU in an older system or one missing the correct connectors, I highly recommend these adapter cables to get up and running quickly. They elegantly solved the power dilemma!

all ok thx

Works really well - received two of them for less than it costs for one at the local PC store. I was dubious about that; but it handles the conversion no probs.

Una buena compra cumple su función a la perfección buena relación cálidas precio.

Much better quality than others for sale. Thick gage wire that’s well insulated and does not get hot at all. Using it to power a RTX 3060 off a 6pin and has been working perfectly for 6 months

Used it for a vega 64 in my z620 workstation and they work fine. Be carefull when using these though because regular 6 pin cables can only deliver 75 watts (same for the pcie slot) so when using 2 you shouldnt use a gpu that uses more than 75*3=225 watts

Machen genau das wofür diese Gedacht sind. Qualität, macht auch mich einen soliden Eindruck.
