Review: Good - 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.
Review: Worked for XPS 8940 360W PSU - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a power suply with a 6+2 pin and 6 pin, i will buy the gtx 1070ftw that needs two 8pin connections, can i use the 6+2 i have and your adapter?**
A: That will work connection wise but you will need to verify your PSU can handle the load.

**Q: Can I plug the 6pin directly into the psu and run it to the graphics card?**
A: no. this is way too short unless your psu is 6" from your gpu. this is meant to be an adapter to change your 6pin pcie connector to an 8pin for gpu's that require the 8pin. it your are missing the 8pin connector you can probably try the manf of the psu, typically they will sell them. good luck!

**Q: I need an adaptor cord at least 6" long?  Do you have?**
A: Well this cord is 6 inches.

**Q: I have a 600 psu  and 6 pin  can i use this startech pci express 6 pin to 8 pin power adapter cable (pciex68adap) for my gtx video card 8 pin**
A: Yes,  I have been using this cable with my GTX 970 card and a Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2DB 500W ATX12V Power Supply with no problems  for over a year.
