SATA 15 Pin to 8 Pin (6+2 Pin) Male Video Card Power Supply Cable 8.6inch 22cm (1 Pack)

Item came earlier than expected, and worked flawlessly.

Did what it was meant to do

Works

If you have a power supply that does not have the correct power cable for your video card, this cable is a nice solution for you. Cheaper than replacing the entire power supply especially if you are working on something proprietary that makes changing the power supply difficult.

This did the job. Just be careful about your power supply. You'll need to calculate your power budget for all the devices you have in your PC to be sure your P/S has enough wattage to provide the additional current to the GPU (make sure you look up the power draw from the mfg. of the card) you're adding otherwise you'll have glitches, at best and worst case start a fire. Give yourself some overhead in your budget.

In my opinion, a cable like this shouldn't be used on graphics cards with a TDP higher than 135ish. A 1660 super should be the upper limit, otherwise youll get into sketchy territory. If you know what you're doing, this adapter is a godsend for optiplex and similar builds with proprietary PSUs. You should always do your research (googling) before you use these, but they're nowhere near as dangerous as some people loudly espouse.

Viable solution to power my new GPU with an available power adapter. Cord was long enough for multiple routing within the case.

Item was fine. I didn’t need these after all
