PCI-E 8 Pin to Dual 8(6+2) Pin Splitter Power Cable GPU Adapter Connector Extender Cable for Graphics Video Card, Mining Rig - 18AWG 8inch (2 Pack)

Fast and cheap, shame it wasn't what I needed ha

Unfit for purpose, dangerous

Does the job well

I did not notice the reviews when I purchased this and would not have done if I had. I can confirm the other reviews that despite being described as 'PCI-E 8 Pin to Dual 8(6+2) Pin Splitter Power Cable GPU Adapter' this is NOT infact a PCIe 8pin wiring but a CPU ATX 8pin wiring. The connector is designed to go from an ATX 8pin 12v connector (motherboard) to two 6+2 12v PCIe connectors (GPU).Using the cable as described to connect a single 8pin PCIe (GPU connector) to two 6+2 GPU connectors will destroy either/both your PSU and GPU as it will feed 12v power into the ground lines of the GPU.

Worked like a charm to split the single GPU power into 2

Did the job

Thankfully I checked before using this cable. This is a CPU POWER (EPS12V) TO PCI-E SPLITTER. Do not plug this into an 8pin PCI-e cable to split it as you will potentially damage or destroy your GPU!I'm glad I know how to rewire it, but this is very poor and should not be the case. I've already got a few CPU power to PCI-e splitter cables so this is a bit of a waste of money but at least I can probably reuse the Molex connectors and rewire it.

This is advertised as 8pin PCI-E to Dual 6+2 pin PCI-E but it actually uses a 8 pin CPU connector to split into 2x 6+2 PCI-E. when I tried using a 8 pin PCI-E (before realising it was CPU connector) the pc wont boot at all, seems like it is getting no power at all.
