💻 Monoprice 108494 8 Inch 15 Pin Express: Premium High-Definition Connector for Seamless Audio-Video Transmission Review

Purchased to power the graphics card in the Dell PowerEdge T410 server with 6-pin power supply. The server had no power connectors except for a free SATA power connector and that met my needs. I'm using an 8600 GTS graphics card that draws a maximum of 61W. 12V. The SATA cable spec says 54W max so I'm above the spec but haven't seen any issues so far. If you're using a graphics card with higher performance requirements, you'll probably need a dual SATA to 6-pin header, otherwise it will work…

First of all I would like to say that I prefer to deal directly with Monoprice. Since I needed this part, I quickly ordered it through Revain. It's a decent cable, but the SATA power is 54W, not 75W for the PCIe power spec (but they can usually handle a lot more power). Practically I would not want to use more than 100W graphics card with this adapter.

I bought 2 of these to power the Cube ASIC Miner and they ran for about 20 hours until the 2 yellow wires overheated and melted the insulation. Luckily I was sitting in the room when they started melting and smelling, or there could be a short circuit which resulted in significant damage to my electronics or possibly even a fire. I bought a molex dual entry kit and it worked great and didn't even get warm. So it seems that the power required by the connected peripheral should be below about…

This product worked for me and allowed me to get power over a SATA connection to a GTX 1060 graphics card. Due to another reviewer's comment about it melting on them, I haven't tried running super intensive programs yet. I'm waiting to upgrade my PSU before using something heavy instead of using an adapter. But overall I am very happy with this purchase.

I have a gaming rig that I recently added a USB stick to and it needs extra power to run. I lost the extra SATA power cable to my modular power supply so I bought this one. I plugged it in, everything is fine, and when I turned on my prefix, it started smoking. Luckily I didn't leave or I have about $2,000 worth of electronics that now need to be replaced.

This worked great for connecting a 90w TDP graphics card to my prebuilt Dell computer. I bought this cable to power a GTX 950. Since the motherboard PCIE slot needs to deliver 75W, this cable should deliver around 15W under load. However, I set the power limit to a lower value so that the card only draws all the power from the PCIe slot anyway. If you plan on getting a lot of power out of this cable I would consider the 2 SATA -> 6 pin option just in case.

this is a good adapter, I had no problems with it, it provided power where I needed it as a temporary solution until I got a new power supply, there was no perm solution , since what I used it for did cause some heating, but here's how things are when you're using a patch. I wouldn't recommend this for a graphics card in the long run as it uses the low power bus from your PSU's SATA bus unless you have a high output SATA bus. it does what it was designed to do.

Let me start by saying, just because you can doesn't mean you have to. I recently bought a cheaper Dell outlet computer that only has a 295w PSU. I was planning to reuse my GTX 1060 graphics card from my old PC to save money, but the new computer PSU didn't have the required 6-pin power connector to support it. That's why I had to buy this gorgeous $4.25 cable. I inserted the card, added a new power cable and voila, it worked! Yes, I know I shouldn't have done that. Nvidia strongly recommends…
