## Description

desertcart.com: Cable Matters 2-Pack 6 Pin to 8 Pin PCIe Adapter Power Cable - 4 Inches : Electronics

Review: Cables DO matter and these 6->8 pin adapters work right. 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: Works with my HP z420 - Highly recommended from desertcart. Works perfect without any issues. No over heating.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life saver
*by A***A on January 24, 2025*

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!
