Review on COMeap 8 Pin Male to Dual 2X 8 Pin (6+2) Male PCI Express Power Adapter Cable for EVGA PSU 24-inch+8-inch (62cm+21cm) - Not Suitable for Seasonic, Sentey, and Corsair PSU by Jorge Eckstein

The pinout is not the same as the original EVGA GQ cables

I don't think these cables are compatible with the 750GQ as stated in the description. I checked the pin assignment with a multimeter on my original cables from my 750 GQ (PSU side is 3128.4657 and GPU side is 1234.5678). These cables are shown differently, both the PSU side and the GPU side are the same 1234.5678. I used this cable on my GPU for about 10 minutes and everything was fine, but then the GPU stopped. I hard booted my computer and switched to the onboard display port and the GPU showed as Windows stopped due to the error message. I reinstalled the device and drivers and it worked. But after 5 minutes the same error turning off the GPU. I then switched the cable to the original EVGA cable, reinstalled the device and drivers, and it's been working fine ever since. Obviously the cable doesn't work with my EVGA 750GQ.

Pros
  • power cable
Cons
  • not reliable
