Post by: FP91G on March 19, 2021, 05:24:58 PM If your video card consumes no more than 150 watts, I would use these adapters.
Of course, I would check the thickness of the wires and the build quality. If video cards with high consumption are used, then I would use other power supplies and try not to use adapters. I assume that 1 branch of the power supply unit has a safe load of no more than 150 watts Title: Re: are those splitters any good (amazon) ?...

Always check polarity on them. Title: Re: are those splitters any good (amazon) ?... Post by: JayDDee on March 19, 2021, 06:21:18 PM 8 pin to 2x8 (6+2) would be better. Just make sure to count the wires to make sure they didnt cheat
by only using 6 wires. They're great for splitting single 8 pin cables to 8+6 or 8+8. Title: Re: are those splitters any good (amazon) ?...

They're great for splitting single 8 pin cables to 8+6 or 8+8. what how and why do i need to count wires ?!? i will only use them to feed 6 pin risers (two risers only) is what ur suggesting really necessary to do ?!?... my second best option it to just get them refunded and order them elsewhere maybe u guys can recommend coz i dont have time (flying soon) or the knowledge to learn tech stuff atm tbh... thanks, Title: Re: are those splitters any good (amazon) ?...

Those have a lower power limit and shouldn't be split 8+8 or 8+6. True 8 pin cables are no problem. For your current intended use it doesn't really matter but they may come in handy in the future. You can also infer higher quality cables generally if they don't squeeze 2 pins through one wire. Title: Re: are those splitters any good (amazon) ?...
