Needed this to upgrade my graphics card instead of buying a new power supply, works amazing, priced very well, shipped quickly, great quality, only downside is that its ugly so if you need it for somethijg vidually appealing you might want to reconsider, other than thag the wire was great and fit perfectly, easy installation.

Installed into a higher end workstation during a GPU upgrade. Quality built cable that just works the first time without issue.

I have a Dell XPS 8940 that only has a 360W power supply. I wanted to upgrade my graphics card without upgrading my PSU (power supply unit) but options were pretty limited for what card I could power. My system came with a GTX 1660S which has a pretty small power requirement and the newest card I could find with a similar power requirement was the RTX 4060. It's basically twice as powerful with the same power draw. One problem. I only have a 6 pin power connection. After researching I found this product and thought I'd give it a shot. It worked perfectly! It's not the prettiest cable but you can't see it in my stock dell case. Seems very sturdy as well and again, it works. Not sure how great it is with a card with higher power requirements but it was perfect for me. 5 stars.

This did what it needed to do! I was upgrading my GPU and it requires an 8-pin power cable, and while my 500W power supply (older PC) has an 8-pin, it is feeding the motherboard, so I needed to use one of the available 6-pin and this adapter made it work perfectly.

Replaced gtx 1060 display adapter with rtx 4060 display adapter in an older personal computer.

I bought a PC and planned to install a higher-end video card on it. This cable was a perfect way to get the card working without having to replace the existing power supply.

really nice cable tie, nice cable protection too. It has been working well without any issues, the only thing that bothers me is that the cables are kinda far away from the connection, i don't know if i can explain myself correctly, it just seems like a minor design flaw, but it doesn't seem to affect it. This is the best company for PC components from amazon i guarantee that.

If you are looking for something like this, it's because you are getting ready to jump to a new video card. That's eaxctly what happened to me.I just bought a Radeon 6970 HD, which is a fantastic GPU (video card), but consumes quite a lot of energy. Thankfully I had a 730w PSU (power source) which had been a blessing with my older vid cards.The new GPUs requiere either 1 or 2 8pin connectors form the PSU. I rather tried this one out instead of having to buy a new PSU, since I had one that was enough to cover my energy needs.I have had the GPU for several weeks, and havent had a problem. This adapter worked wonders and has saved me to drop about a hundred bucks. I dont intend to make this a permanent situation and buy a new PSU soon, but this is a nice thing to have if you dont have a lot of money and need to change both PSU and GPU.It works as advertised, thats why I give it a 5 star rating
