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

Product Information

I have a Antec 850 w - High Current Gamer ATX12V/EPS12V. I had a friend that came by with his Corsair cable and it indeed not fit. It seems that all the bottom pins have a bevel on the bottom and won't accept the square ones. This power supply have 2x 12v connectors.

The wires can handle higher currents, up to 10-13A per wire, with reasonable heating (for example at 10A, the individual wires may heat from 25c ambient to 40c if spread out, maybe 50c in a bundle (ex under a sleeve wrapping the whole 8 wires) . They can do more if you don't mind bigger voltage drops and higher temperatures (the insulation is typically rated for at least 85c) Ryzen 9 5900x | Full Custom Water Loop | Asus Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) | RTX 3090 Founders | Ballistix 32gb 16-18-18-36 3600mhz Some PSU maker could use a different pinout on the PSU, so even if the pinout is standard from the GPU side, it is not from the PSU side.

Since it should have had 2 cables in the box originally. It is very common to find cable with dual connectors but not an Y cable, instead you get the second connector extended (daisy chained) from the first one. So in theory, an pci-e 8 pin connector that has 3 pairs of wires carrying 12v to the video card could deliver safely around 9A through each pair. This means you could do up to 12v x 3 pairs x 9A = 324 watts. You can have 2 x molex -> pci-e 8pin ... each molex has only one 12v wire, and each molex is rated for 5A of current, so in theory your adapter would be good for 2 wires x 5A x 12v = 120 watts. 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.

Not sure where those numbers are from, but a 6-pin is rated for 75w and an 8-pin is rated for 150w.You shouldn't be able to switch between them - the square and rounded off connectors are arranged such that you can't. Note the top left connector on the EPS 12V is squared off, while that on the PCIe is rounded off in the image before.Essentially differences like that are to prevent you from plugging in a PCIe connector into a EPS12V. There may be other differences, but I don't have these connectors on hand/ I'm not sure which brand the PCIe cable is, but it's written 18AWG. Do I really need a 16 AWG? If so, I guess i'll have to buy a new Power Supply since I can't seem to find a new cable. PCI-e organization imposed the limits of 75 watts for the 6 pin connector, and 150 watts for the 8 pin connector. How do you measure the cables to be 16 AWG? I've seen this online and thought I should probably get a 2nd PCIe cable since I'm currently using the last bottom picture one by splitting. Only thing is that I can't find a single cable compatible with my Antec power supply, so I'm wondering if I'm fine or I should change power supply.

Additionally, some pins are used to sense the power available (there are 2 ground pins that are sense A and B). That is why it is not recommended to use the cables from another PSU. In cas of doubt, you can simply plus the cable in the PSU and make sure the GND and +12V Ah, not mixing cabels from different power supply is a good thing to know. Never though there would be differences.

If it doesnt catch on fire then id consider it fine but a setup like this is def risky, if your adapter or psu has thin wires then thats when you should consider swapping out the psu or just getting power from other stuff like molex to 8 pin adapters Im trying to connect 3 GPUs with a 125W power limit to the same PSU. The PSU only have one 8-pin connector for what i can see. Again im a cheapskate so im only gonna swap cables under the condition of the current ones get really hot and pose a real risk of fire, and i mean burning hot not lukewarm "hot" I've just bought an RTX 3080 TI from marketplace and the person gave me his power cable (top) that came with his power supply and I realized it doesn't fit with my power supply since there are different shapes. I used my old power cable for my GTX 1060 6GB, but there's 1 empty hole. I'm not sure what are the difference, but I'm kind of worried that the RTX 3080TI require all 8 holes to function correctly. Do I need to get a new Power Supply for the right pinned cable or why are there differences?
