Do not heat up like cheapos I got elsewhere - 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. Review: Great - Used them to connect my RTX 3070 gpu to my Dell 5810 tower. Worked perfectly ## Features - 6 Pin to 8 Pin PCIe Adapter: Connect a 6-pin male PCIe power plug from a compatible power supply to the 8-pin PCIe power input on a supported graphics card. Confirm the connector types before ordering - For Compatible Low-Power GPUs: Use the PCIe power adapter only when the power supply and its 6-pin PCIe connection provide sufficient power for the graphics card. Check the documented power requirements of the PSU and GPU before installation - 8 Pin to 6 Pin PCIe Adapter: The GPU power adapter changes a 6-pin PCIe connection into an 8-pin connector but does not increase the PSU wattage, current capacity, or available power. It is not suitable for bypassing GPU power requirements - Secure PCIe Connections: The 8-pin male connector features a locking latch, while the 6-pin female connector uses a keyed housing to support proper alignment and help prevent accidental disconnection - Convenient 2-Pack: Use the two PCIe adapter cables with separate compatible systems or keep one as a spare. Compatible with select Gigabyte, Radeon, and Sapphire graphics cards with an 8-pin PCIe power input. Check the GPU power requirements before use. Not compatible with CPU/EPS 8-pin ports ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01DV1Z32Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,379 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #192 in Audio & Video Power Cables | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Brand Name | Cable Matters | | Cable Type | proprietary | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Computer | | Connector Gender | Male | | Connector Type | 6-pin Pcie, 8-pin Pcie | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,222 Reviews | | Ethernet Cable Category | Cat 5 | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Gauge | 18 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Length | 4 inches | | Item Shape | Round | | Manufacturer | Cable Matters | | Maximum Voltage | 50 volts_of_direct_current | | Model | 104042x2 | | Number of Pins | 14 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Secure Connection | | Part Number | 104042x2 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Powering Graphics Cards in Computers | | Special Feature | Secure Connection | | UPC | 682017352046 | | Wattage | 75 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cable Matters - **Cable Type:** proprietary - **Compatible Devices:** Computer - **Connector Type:** 6-pin Pcie, 8-pin Pcie - **Special Feature:** Secure Connection ## Images ![8-Pin to 6-Pin PCIe Power Cable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717ZpcKojiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this work for a nvidia gtx 1070 g1 card work?** A: I used it for 1080ti and it works just fine **Q: This may seem like a dumb question but which one is the male and female just trying to make sure** A: Male has the pins sticking out (though there's usually a plastic housing around them) and female has the receptacles for the pins to be inserted into - (just like you'd probably think). **Q: Can i connect 8pin male end of this adapter to my psu's 8 pin slot and connect my psu's 6pin cable (for sata hdd) to 6 pin female end of this adapter?** A: No, this cable is for the other way around. This cable connects the 6-pin cable from your PSU into the 8-pin connector on a video card. As a side note, a SATA hdd does not use a 6-pin cable. It has it's own 'SATA' flat cable. **Q: I just bought a gtx 1070ti buy my evga 650 watt power supply only has two 6 pin conntectors, will this adapter supply enough power to my gpu?** A: That's its intended purpose. Just make sure that all the rest of your peripherals are not pulling more power than the PSU can supply when you add the card. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cables DO matter and these 6->8 pin adapters work right.
