I'd assume because this video is really for a specific type of audience, post high-up youtubers are for a much more general audience.

So basically i watch youtube. And if i see a tutorial. I thumbs up even if i dont watch it. These dudes help out a lot of people. And this one is 8 yrs old.

Finally I found someone who bloody knows what there talking about. Thanks bruv

This was so helpful, I spent hours bumbling around looking for help on adaptors and if they kill GPUs and so on. Big thumbs up! Definitely need to look at a better power supply

Re: 3:50 With all due respect what you said about 6 pin to 8 pin cable is not accurate: There is a danger to the user if they don't know what they are doing but the cable in itself is not bad. I have an old OCZ 1000w power-supply and it only had 4x6pin, connectors despite the fact that it had more then enough juice to run a Xfire or SLI for 2 cards. I used two of these adapters to power 2 R9 290x playing games at Ultra for over a year now. There's nothing wrong with the adapter if your psu has enough juice on the rail. The extra 2 pins do not supply any power. It's a close circuit and if your GPU does not detect closer, it won't run. In the regular 8 pin, the circuit is closed within the psu. In the cable, the circuit is closed within the adapter. The 8 pin standard is there, only to signify that the cable is guaranteed to able to supply a minimum amount of amps (I beleive an 8pin cable should be able to handle at least 150W at 12V and the 6pin is rated for a minimum of 75W). If a user is unsure what their PSU is able to deliver, they should not use this cable. I would not recommend buying these cables from a noname Chinese supplier off of eBay. The build quality is made to last exactly one day more then the paypal refund claim period.

I'll need to turn the 6pin into a 2 x 8pin connectors so I can power my 980ti, but I've noticed the round and square pins are sorted differently in the PSU and in the GPU standards so I can make a frankenstein adapter from a 6 to 2 x 8pin and change it's 6pin part to match the pinout of my PSU. It this safe?

Finally someone explains this right!

hi, hope you are doing great, can you please tell me what is the difference b/t 6 to 8 Pin Connector, and 6 pin to 6+2 Connector? Is there any power supply difference?? thanks

It depends if you have a power supply unit from the past that has plenty of molex connectors. I have an older power supply unit from the past that has molex connectors and my thought has been connecting it to my Asus Sabertooth 990fx

I have a graphics card that requires a 6 pin power supply. I have a cable which is the yellow and black one you mentioned. But the only thing to plug the end into are two chords that are yellow, red, and black. One of said cables connects from my power supply to my disc drive and hangs freely while the other hangs from my hard drive freely please tell me what I have to do to fix this. I don't want to continue to have a useless $200 graphics card in my cp. Thanks

I'm not going to "upgrade" my PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW to some lesser PSU just to get 8-pin PCIe. You obviously aren't over-loading a +12v rail with two into one! You seem to be confused about the purpose of the warnings. It's where you get the other 6-pin from after adapting your only two that's a problem. Also you may not realize that you aren't supposed to connect more than three drives to any one chain but I didn't hear any warnings or even a mention of the utility as an extension.

Hi i have a problem,i bought a vtx3d radeon 7770 1ghz gddr5 .7770 needs i 6 pin cable, but i have a only one 4 pin molex cable free. What can i do??????????????????????????? Please i need a answer

I have a two molex to 8 Pin - my PSU has no 8 pin. But it is 1000 watts. I've seen it stable 800 plus at wall.

I bought a new graphics card that requires a 6 pin PCIe power cord. All I have left coming out of my power supply however is one 4 pin molex (female i believe). Should I get a 6pin PCIe to Molex 4 Pin? They usually come with two Molex parts... does this mean one dangles without being plugged in to anything?

I have an 450W PSU and does not have 6 or 8 pin cables for graphics card I have MSI GTX-960 graphics card and i don't know what to do!!! Should i get 2 molex to 6 pin and 6 pins to 8 pins adaptors???

I bought a six pine pci cord but it has 2 4 pin molex inputs with one hollow pin in each into the six pin converter and the 6 pin converter has 1 hollow line in its six pins. Will this work for me? My video card need six pins but I only have 5.

hello i have question when i plug 8 pin connector pc does not working but when its is unplug motherboard starting working but screen is black plz help sorry my bad english

I bought 2 molex to 6 pin adapter. Do I need to connect BOTH of the 4-pin molex in order to run my videocard(which is hd 3870) ? Because the card runs with a single molex connected, but when I try the two, the pc doesn't even start!

I have a guestion, why graphigs cards use two 6-pin connectors, why one isnt enough. I just bought 5870 vapor-x and it requires 500w and i have 500w but only one 6-pin connector, can I use that connector?

My gtx 960 requires a 6pin which is connected to a 6pin to 2x4pin molex adapter. The problem is that my 4pin molex connects right into my Mainboard and not psu. Would that still work?

i have a psu with 650watt and im gonna try to power my radeon 7000 series card but i dont have a 8 pin pcie connector so im ordering an adapter which is 2 male 4 pin molex connectors to a 8 pin pcie connector. do u think i'll be in a safe situation or should i not attempt? pls reply.

What about a dual 6-pin female to single 8-pin male pcie power adapter? Would you recommend that?

Very noob-ish question here, Thinking about upgrading my case again and it has LEGs powered by molex. My psu has molex plugs but im not sure what plugs into them.

i need help i have a 1070 and a 450 power supply but the power supply only has 4 pin psu for the cpu. can i buy a 2 4pin molex to a 8 pin pcie connecter?

Hey guys, So I've seen some of the GTX 1070 cards come with an adapter that is two 6 pin adapters (female) to a 8 pin adapter (male). so the two 6 pin (75W each) to the 8 pin (150W). This should work right? My GTX 1070 didn't come with one but like I said, I've seen some that do. Just a bit confused?...

My 3 month old Corsair CX500 bronze (from a good supplier) has dual 6 pin headers, maybe for SLI. Now I want to go from using the integrated graphics to a separate GPU. Corsair show the CX500s now comes with an 8 way header. Do these things just change with fashion ? The power draw for my system (with the GPU) IS within the capabilities of the PSU, but I need an adaptor between the two 6 way and the single 8 way. Does this still make the adaptor a bad thing?

I have a radeon HD2900xt connected to a 2 molex to 6 pin and a 2 molex to 8 pin adapter, so i have nor 6 pin nor 8 pin on my power supply, although it works fine, i can even overclock my card (550watts power supply)

Question, i picked up a Xeon e5 1660v4 computer so great, but the powersupply is really special it has a sort of Pci-e power built in that plugs into the motherboard, plus the usual 24 motherboard pins are totally different so i canno change the PSU Problem is : i have a RX Vega 56 coming, it requires 2×8 pins to work but that stupid powersupply only has 1×8pins and 1×6pins. I don't really have space to install a second PSU (but i could try to do so) and i cannot change the powersupply as a normal wouldn't be able to connect to the motherboard. Think a really good 6 pins to 8 pins adapter would work ? I saw HP ones for 40 bucks but if you have cheaper but good ones (150watts+ rated) i'd take them ! Thx

is it possible to take a 6 pin cable from psu and go to a 6 pin plug and a lp4(molex) ? Or is that nonsense ?

i recently got a new pc and ive upgraded the cpu fan but in doing so i realized either i dont have or cant find molex connectors to add an extra fan because the mobo only has 2 fan connectors so do newer systems not have molex? because i see two unused SATA but the fan came with molex so...

My Psu doesnt have any 6/8 pin connectors, will tge molex connector to rx 470 run with no problems?

Sorry for dumb question but please someone help. i only have a single 6pin graphics power connector but will need two, for the molex to 6 pin adaptor do i need to plug in both of the molex cables for the adaptor to work?

i got 750 watt and just got a new gtx 1080 and i only have a 2 6 pins it it ok just to buy an Adapter ?????

I'm replacing a PSU, and ran into a problem of having no 6pin PCIe (the cpu setup is 7yrs old). I'm thinking of getting one of those 6pin converters. Is there are difference if it's 1 x molex to 6pin, 2 x molex to 6pin, or 1 x sata to 6pin?

forgive me if this is a stupid question... but can i run more than one power supply in a computer? (specifically a mac pro?)

I recently bought an r9 380x and found out it requires 2 6 pin connectors(yeah, it was stupid of me to not research on the card enough) and my psu only has one 6 pin connector, so I ended up using the molex to 6 pin adapter. Why is it only good as a temporary solution? Should I buy a decent 6 pin connector asap? Or would it be okay to continue using the molex to 6 pin adaptor? I use a 700w psu but it's kinda old. Bought it in 2010.

Hi i have 825w PSU.but is doenst have 8 pin to connect my GPU. it only have 2 6 pin . which cable suitable to run my gpu?

What if you have two 6 pins and need one eight pin? I got an Evga graphics card that came with an adapter to turn two 6 pins into a single 8 pin. I read somewhere that one 6 pin is good for up to 75 watts and an 8 pin is good for 150 watts. It sounds safe to me as long as the power supply has the two 6 pin connectors. The 8 pin end is the one for the graphics card and the two 6 pin ends are the ones from the power supply so this one really combines two connectors into one rather than splitting an 8 pin into two. This is the one that came with the card in the box and not some other one that came off the shelf with all the other adapters.

Do you have anything on splitting and stacking molex cables? Should I worry about anything else other than the total voltage required by the system? I.e. am using all 3 plugs from the 1 cable (type 4pin - 3x 4pin molex) connected to the source to power 3 hdds. Decided to add disk cooling (with same 4pin molex supply), can I split the power plug of each disk, or should I draw a new cable from the supply (and mess the wire management worse than it already is)? same with fans connected to the Mo-Bo with the 3 pin adapter, should I split or should I use a new molex + adapter from the mo-bo?

Hi ComputerTechTV I have an old PSU and I am gonna be upgrading my motherboard to support an Intel i5 2500k. My old motherboard which Im using now is a Gigabyte GA-A75M UD2H which uses only a 4pin 12V connector. Now I am planning on buying an Asrock Z68 Extreme3 or Asus motherboard to go along the 2500k. Problem is those motherboards need an 8pin 12v connector. My question is, is it safe to use a adaptor from 4pin to 8pin? What would you recommend? I know buying a PSU is the best way to go but as of now I just want a temporary solution as I will be upgrading to a better PSU. I will be using the PC for gaming thus overclocking will be there but would just be a slight overclock to maybe a 4.2 or 4.6ghz. Thank you and keep up the helpful videos!
