Cable Matters (2-Pack 6-Pin PCIe to 8-Pin PCIe Adapter Power Cable - 10cm

Product Information

The difference between a 6-pin, 8-pin, and 12-pin GPU cable all comes from the current they carry. Can you run a single high-end GPU off a daisy chain PCIe connectors? 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. When gaming enthusiasts build a PC, they come across any compatibility issues. In the case of connecting components, the same thing happens as well. You can find power connectors that are not compatible with the motherboard or other hardware in the computer. Undoubtedly computers around the globe get manufactured by different brands and engineers. I currently have a Bequiet PurePower 530w model similar to this one http://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/43 except instead of 2x6+2 pin it is 2x6 pin. The specs are otherwise similar.

Are 6-pin to 8-pin adapters safe for GPUs? - TechPowerUp

The 12-pin GPU cable is the most trending development from the NVIDIA graphics company. The connectors in these cables come with a 3.0 mm pitch. This implies that its real physical dimension is the same as an 8-pin connector, and it also doesn’t occupy much internal space for the airflow. The design of the 12-pin connector comes easy without much confusion. One row is for power, and the other is for ground. 12-Pin GPU CableThe 8-pin is good for running the whole PC system. Therefore, if you’re upgrading from RTX 3070 to 3080, then 650 watts is enough. Does ATX 12V need to be plugged in? An 8-pin GPU cable is a power connector common in most high-end graphics. These connectors usually have a 4.2 mm pitch that can seamlessly offer a power supply of 150 watts. If you connect a graphics card with an 8-pin connector, the maximum power supply you can draw is 225 watts. You will get 75 watts from the PCIe x16 slot and 150 watts from the eight-pin connectors. An 8-pin GPU Cable

is more than sufficient. My specs are i5 2500k, 1x5400 Samsung SATA 2 TB, 2x4GB DDR3, Radeon 5850 (currently), 3x92mm fans and 2x80mm fans with an SSD to be added and a couple of USB peripherals (dongle, KB and mouse) 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. This cable uses a double 4-pin connections and adjusts them to an 8-pin connection. 4-pin to 8-pin is something that will probably be handy with advanced graphics cards. 6-Pin to 8-Pin PCI-E Adapter Cable This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. Several CPUs come with multiple numbers of PCIe x16 slots. This enables users to harness more GPUs to the system. However, it eventually increases the power consumption of the whole system.

GLASS CPUs ARE COMING.

Now once you take the existing one out, install the new GPU. After installing the GPU, connect the GPU connector with the PCIe slot. If your slots are not compatible with the GPU connectors, you can use an adapter to get compatibility. In PCIe x16 connectors, you can connect GPUs that usually don’t require much power than 75 watts. Such GPUs include GTX 1050 2 GB, GTX 1030, RX 550, and 460 graphics. These graphics units don’t demand more than 75 watts of power.

Despite the fact that 150 watts are enough for most graphics cards, high-end cards such as NVIDIA’s RTX 3080 require more than 320 watts and system power of 750 watts. As 150 watts will be enough for most mid-range cards, these usually feature the 6-pin power connector. An entry-level graphics card needs 150 watts of power supply through the motherboard for running seamlessly. In contrast, the standard PCIe x16 slots only offer you 75 watts of power. So, if you expect a desirable performance from your PC, you need highly efficient GPU power connectors.

The SATA came as a replacement for the PATA connectors. Earlier, the PATA connectors had 34- 40 pins, so to save space, the SATA connectors replaced them. These connection types were designed to offer high-speed data transmission to storage devices, optical drives, and graphical units. However, SATA has become older now.
