About this deal

Not sure where those numbers are from, but a 6-pin is rated for 75w and an 8-pin is rated for 150w. 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. I used a splitter to get to the three GPUs and im aware that the maximum power recommended its arround 290W. WARNING: Due to the electrical pinout of each cable and the unique electrical pinout designed for your power supply, using this cable with a non-certified or unsupported power supply may cause irreparable harm to your power supply, cable, and/or any connected devices. Use of this cable with any non-certified or unsupported EVGA power supplies or power supplies from another manufacture voids the warranty for this cable, and may void the warranty of your power supply.

You can't connect male PCI-E 8-pin to EPS-12V because 2 male pins on PCI-E as the top edge joined together and the corresponding pins on PCI-E does not have a slit for that. 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 +12VAdditionally, some pins are used to sense the power available (there are 2 ground pins that are sense A and B). The PCI-e limitation of 150 watts is chosen to allow 2 8 pin connectors on a single cable coming from power supply - keep in mind that there's ONE connector plugged into the power supply, usually with 3 or 4 pairs of 12v wires which are then shared between those 2 connectors. So, 2 x 150w max = 300w max, which is within the reasonably safety limits of the connectors on the power supply end (if the power supply is modular) Yeah, this image was posted by Seasonic, because their older units shipped with inadequate cables which couldn't handle daisy chained 8 pins.

You can't connect male EPS-12V to female PCI-E 8-pin because 1 male pin of EPS is square and its rounded on PCI-E. 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 pci-e slots are powered by the only 2 (if my memory is correct) 12v wires in the 24 pin connector. So, assume around 200 watts can go into the motherboard through the 24 pin connector, which are then split between fan headers, rgb headers, and possibly 12v to 5v / 3.3v dc-dc converters on the motherboard that may power things like ram, m.2 connectors (m.2 has only 3.3v but because a m.2 SSD may go up to 3A when writing, some motherboards don't use the 3.3v from PSU but use a dc-dc converter to produce clean 3.3v from 12v) Ryzen 9 5900x | Full Custom Water Loop | Asus Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) | RTX 3090 Founders | Ballistix 32gb 16-18-18-36 3600mhz That is why you could get a 8 pins connector with missing pins, because it is in fact wired as a 6 pins with lower power.

i can run a 150w gts 250 just fine with molex - sata - 6+2 pin adapter, you can say its gonna catch on fire all you want but unless the cables get really hot and actually pose a risk of catching fire you arent gonne convince me, atm even if i stress it the cables seem to only get w arm, from what i can tell its around low 30c in temp IF your power supply has only one 8 pin connector, the first thing you should do is to look at the label of the power supply and see how much current the psu can actually supply on 12v (doesn't matter how many adapters you have, if the power supply can only produce 250-300w on 12v) and second ask yourself if you trust the power supply to not lie about its capabilities on the label. If it's from a brand with decent reputation, chances are it's not lying. If it's some cheap model or some chinese psu that came with the case, most likely the psu is inflating the numbers.Ah, not mixing cabels from different power supply is a good thing to know. Never though there would be differences. 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?

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. 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. EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 GT + Free PerFE 12 Cable, 80 Plus Gold 1300W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with FDB Fan, 10 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 180mm Size, Power Supply 220-GT-1300-XR PCI-e organization imposed the limits of 75 watts for the 6 pin connector, and 150 watts for the 8 pin connector.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. Did you buy it as a prebuilt or did you lose the cables? Since it should have had 2 cables in the box originally. Unfortunatelly it's not true that you cannot connect PCIe 8-pin plug to EPS-12V (EATX) motherboard slot. It might be only an exception found with FSP PSU, but a single difference in one male pin on PCIe connector allows to plug your PSU totally wrong. video cards don't take all power from the 8 pin connector. They can also take up to around 65w from the SLOT. (officially it's 10w on 3.3v and 65w on 12v but recently I think they loosened the standards to allow up to 75w on 12v)
