Review on πŸ”Œ StarTech.com 6-inch SATA Power to 8-Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Cable Adapter - SATA to 8-Pin PCIe Power Converter (SATPCIEX8ADP) by Matthew Baltimore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Allows you to add an 8-pin PCI-E connector to power an old PC - works great!

I had a slightly old (3 year old) PC that needed an 8 pin PCI-E power connector for a new Asus RX570 GPU that I just installed. (I didn't realize this requirement until I installed it). This allows two unused SATA power connectors from the PSU to power the GPU's fans. The fit works well - I wish the wires were a bit longer so I didn't have to redo the way the power cables are routed through the case; but that's a very minor complaint. Works great, now I go to the races.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • No performance
