Review on πŸ”Œ 180 Degree Angled CY ATX 6Pin Female to 8pin Male Adapter for Graphics Cards in Desktops - Enhanced SEO by Sarah Abarca

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but design is not compatible

The two adapters I received are connected completely differently. After checking for continuity I found that the PH38 has a 1:1 pinout where each pin is wired separately. On the other side, the PH38B connects all ground and sense pins and all +12V pins. When used with an ATX power supply, the PH38B's pin bonding might not pose much of a problem from a user perspective, but from an electrical perspective I believe each pin needs to be wired separately (as in PH38). At the very least, the product description should really explain the difference in how the two adapters connect. Note that both of my adapters were REV 1.3. Maybe future versions will change the way they connect.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
