Crushdepth Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Anyone know where I can get an 8-pin PCI-E power cable (need for graphics card). I've tried Fortune and Pantip but no luck. One shop told me they are a 'non standard accessory', which seemed odd as he was selling power supplies that use them! Surely they must be available somewhere?

Crushdepth Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks, I've actually got the dual molex to 8 cable but I'm a bit hesitant to use it. This card draws nearly 300 watts under load (nearly 400 on the alt overclocked bios) and the molex connectors on my power supply are all ganged off one cable, which already has a couple of drives and DVD hanging off it already. Part of the power would be handled by the second 6-pin connection (card runs off two power connections, one 6-pin and one 8-pin) but I'm not sure the cable could cope with the additional current for the 8-pin connection or not. The 6 to 8 connector might be the go. I've got a spare 6 cable which was helping run my previous card sitting there doing nothing. u can easily find it at pantip or fortune The 8-pin connector cable? If so, can you suggest a shop, I looked pretty thoroughly and nobody had the faintest about it. Thanks.

Crushdepth Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 I was wrong. Jedi have an 8-pin extension cable, but nobody has a connector cable. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 print out or save on your phone some picture of what you want and show it to people in Panthip. I'm quite sure that you will then find what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Ok mea culpa. I went digging through the box of left over bits from my build and...I've got two of the dam_n things. Came with my power supply and I had totally forgotten about it. Now, back to installing the HD 7970... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
