🔌 StarTech.com 6-inch SATA Power to 8-Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Cable Adapter - SATA to 8-Pin PCIe Power Converter (SATPCIEX8ADP) Review

If you need an extra power connector for your graphics card, that's fine. For over 6 months I have had no problems with it as the only power source for my graphics card.

After a month of use, the adapter had melted and the contacts on the SATA side were charred. This is NOT a safe way to power a graphics card. I do NOT recommend doing this.

Life is better when everything works as it should. This adapter helped me connect a high performance graphics card to a Dell processor. It was the right length, the right connectors, and it worked.

Dell t3500 precision with stock 525w PSU added an r9 380 graphics card for use as a gaming rig. This allows you to draw power from two different 12V power supply lines to maintain a more even load on the power supply. No problem.

DARE TO GUESS THAT THIS IS NOT A SMELLY PROBLEM AT ALL! I strongly recommend buying from a retailer. The goods received were functional and of the highest quality! It should also be noted that the goods were shipped carefully and on time! I ordered 6 and they all worked perfectly!

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.
