hi

i got those 6 to dual 8 pin pcie splitters....

it sounds oxy moron but am only gonna use them as 6 pin to dual 6 pin splitters to power TWO risers only per cable... are they find for such application ?...
https://www.amazon.ae/gp/product/B08YCX59QV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

am asking coz they costed like 30 bucks and if they werent recommended ill just refund them i dont wanna burn my rig over them !...

thanks,
its normal price for 10 splitters, and its standar one, i use this maybe 4years and its quite good, try not using this more than 200w, sometimes the socket will burn if not perfectly connected to psu cable



will definitely use them for couple of risers thats all, thanks ALL guys !...

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.

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,

Some cables (PSU and splitter) cheap out and use 6 wires for 8 pins. 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.

they should be okay for riser feeds.

Always check polarity on them.

how to do that ??!...

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
