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

Product Information

I was given the case with power supply from my oncle. It's indeed old. I only found 1 cable with it. 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. 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) If you get a real high end card. using true 6+2 Y cable gives you all the power you need, else the card could throttle to low power mode. 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.

Yeah, this image was posted by Seasonic, because their older units shipped with inadequate cables which couldn't handle daisy chained 8 pins. 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" 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.Ryzen 7 3700x | Asus B450-F Strix | 16gb Gskill Flare X 3200mhz | Corsair RM550x PSU | Asus Strix GTX1070 | 250gb 860 Evo m.2

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 This high quality 8 Pin PCIE extension cable is the best solution for messy and untidy PC systems. Each of the 8 individual wires come sleeved and plugged inside the PCIE connector. This cable comes with two clear cable combs . Not sure where those numbers are from, but a 6-pin is rated for 75w and an 8-pin is rated for 150w.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) Did you buy it as a prebuilt or did you lose the cables? Since it should have had 2 cables in the box originally.
