[SOLVED] 6Pin Connector VS 8 Pin

[firstclick]

I came across the following splitters: https://www.amazon.com/Graphics-Express-Y-Splitter-Extension-TeamProfitcom/dp/B0776PMH16

What seems interesting is that the female part is only 6 PIN but outputs to two 8 PIN.

Shouldn't the female have been 8 PIN to be able to power properly the two cards?

Nobody said it had to be safe and effective. These are a recipe for a melted cable and damaged power supply.

What seems interesting is that they're selling these in the first place.

Though I'm sure "TeamProfitcom" will just pack up and disappear once someone tries to sue them for burning down their house.

Got your point

Do you advice against any third party PSU cable, including one to one extensions?

What PSU and what GPUs do you want to use it with?

 

[firstclick]

I don't want to use multiple GPUs for those actually. Just want to power a riser and a GPU for each.

well we used to see 2 6 pin into one 8 pin not this way around.

Compatible with 6-pin & 8-pin graphics cards from popular manufacturers from ASUS,ASRock,Radeon,Sapphire,EVGA and Gigabyte

Of course, what they don't say is that they're compatible with all 6-pin power supply ports. If your power supply cannot natively do what you need it to do, then it's time to get a new power supply.
