Review on 💡 Xhwykzz 8 Pin PCI-E to Dual PCI-E 8 Pin (6 Pin + 2 Pin) Power Cable, Splitter for PCI Express Graphics Card Connector, PC Power Cable for GPU Graphics Video Card Wire (8/Pack, 12 Inch) by Chris Horton

I use these to split the 6 to 6+2 cables from my breakout board into two for risers. I could power more adapters per output, but I had to make at least two adapters per cable to have enough for my GPUs. Anyone who has built a PC for a long time knows the golden rule - never use modular cables of other ATX power. deliver. I was concerned about using 3rd party cables to disconnect the main cables from my breakout board but they worked great. Again, I'm using them to split the connection to the breakout board of the PCIE power connectors, not to split the PCIE power supply. from a conventional computer power supply. I would be very careful using splitters on an ATX power supply. I'm not saying it doesn't work, just be careful. As far as using this cable with your breakout board it works great. I can use 3 sockets for 6 risers and leave 13 sockets for 6 cards. Edit: I want to clarify that I only use them for risers and not cards. A maximum of 75 watts is required per riser, which means that the splitter *should* be up to the task *without any problems*. Each of my GPUs has a dedicated power cable coming off the breakout board. For my purposes - I use them to power my risers - they have been working great 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the past few months. It's hard to justify the total PCIE output power for a single riser, so this is the perfect compromise. To be honest I could probably do without powering three adapters per outlet, but I don't want to test that theory. Use of GPUs is at your own risk. As for the risers, I can't imagine you having any problems. I've only ever connected them to one riser and left them plugged in. I haven't unplugged or swapped them out so I can't comment on other reviews that say the pins fall out. But if you get your setup right, I can't imagine you needing to change them very often.
