PSU Wire

Obsessed913 · May 21, 2016

I have looked everywhere for what I'm about to describe, and if someone could point me in the right direction I would be very thankful. What I need is a wire for a PSU that would plug into an 8-pin socket and split to become 2 8-pin sockets. Any help is appreciated.

search for molex to 8 pin it may be an easier option to finding the adaptor you need...............or make one.
Check the rails on your psu....or better still post the details of the rest of your rig so we can be sure your psu is adequate

click on this link and fill in your specs

Search: PCI-Express PCIE 8 Pin to Dual 8 Pin Video Card Y-Splitter

Most come as 8 pin female to 8 pin (6+2 pin) male Y splitters, so they can be used in 6 pin or 8 pin configuration.
Amazon, E-bay, and just about anybody carries them.

Be very careful using these... check your PSU output and compare the requirements for the devices when using the splitters.

I just went on to Amazon, and that looks surprisingly perfect, I'm definitely looking in to this. Thanks a bunch!
