Title: We need 4pin CPU to dual 6pin PCI-e adapter, (to use CPU amps for GPUs) Post by: CleverMiner on November 02, 2011, 05:50:30 AM Whoever is going to build these will sell a lot!
Since many PSU dedicate a full 18-20amp rail for CPU (220w) while they usually consume 20-60w, we need 4pin CPU to dual 6pin PCI-e adapter to use CPU amps for GPU You can mod you PSU yourself it would usually void your warranty, unless you use a special tool to pull-out the connectors. I modded about a dozens of PSU to pull juice from the 8pin connector, I'm really tired of it, I use the special tool and even then it's a pain. Please someone make this cable and sell them for BTC !

The single 4-pin to PCI-e power adapters are pushing the limits, I've had one smoke and char on the 4-pin end. There is a reason PCI-e has three pins, it is needed for the specified current.
