[SOLVED] 8 Pin Adapter Two Molex Or 6 Pin?

[letmeshot3]

I am goin to buy an adaptor to convert to 8 pin. I heard some converters use two molex to 8 pin, some use 6 pin to 8 pin. I thought that using 2 molex would be safer because 6 pin cables may not able to get that much amp but two molex can do it. So what is your opinion.

1. Adapters like this are almost universally a bad idea.
2. We'd need a full listing of ALL the parts, before and proposed after.

Aside from that being a substandard PSU, what do you need this adapter configuration for?

 

[letmeshot3]

my gpu requires 8 pin and i have a 6 pin port.

If your GPU requires an 8 pin input, and your PSU does not have an 8 pin output...you need a new PSU.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT attempt this. You need a new PSU. A garbage PSU with the correct connectors does not make it a better PSU. It makes it a garbage PSU with the correct connectors.

STOP your research for adapters NOW. START your research for an appropriate PSU.

if your PSU doesn't have the connectors that means that it was never meant to be used with high end cards.
