Review on ๐Ÿ’ก COMeap GPU VGA PCIe 8 Pin Female to Dual 2X 8 Pin (6+2) Male Power Adapter Cable - High Quality, Braided Y-Splitter Extension Cable (9-inch/23cm) by Kyle Mason

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for GTX 970 IF ORDERED CORRECTLY

I was building a new computer but wanted to take a fairly new power supply from my old build to the new one so I had to do something to accommodate this one substitute. I bought 500w which only have 8 pci output. The gtx 970 needs 8+6 and I didn't want to buy 650 watts for a media computer. This splitter only worked after I swapped input 6 and 8 PCI. It's not obvious what order it happens in, and there's no harm in getting it wrong the first time. The GPU is intelligent enough to recognize the voltage.

Pros
  • ใ€ŽCompatibilityใ€Compatible with traditional non-modular power supplies and semi-modular power supplies with 8-pin PCIe connector cable; (Note: this will not work with fully modular power supplies.)
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
