Hi,thank you very much for this information, I want to ask you if I can use just cables to connect the other connectors because I cant find an other psu to get the two connectors.
Yea I've done a few that way but most are Molex or sata to 6pin haven't found too many 6 pin to eight pin converters this is actually how the actual 8 pin power supplies are connected from factory I just decided to add the two extra pins in their respective slots if you have some extra pins or wires around is a good work around.
@@gamesense8698 I have a 500w 80+ Bronze it has 2 seperate 6 pin connector.However my sapphire Rx570 4gb requieres 8 pin but since its seperate i cant connect both my 6pin connector to the 8pin port on thr rx570 .So if using 6pin to 8pin is it safe in thr long run? Considering its rx570
@@mzubair21 ya it works but if you want to use the external 6pin make sure to use ur 6pin connector from PSU to ur GPU then the other 2pin just connect ur external 6pin
A tiny, unmeasurable overdraw would be required for it to burn that slowly over a year. I doubt that such things ever happen. It's either burned or just fine.
Can i connect 8 pin cable on 6 pin graphics card?i saw a review it says it work and it says 6+2 pin, it is the “LIAN LI PW8-V2 ADDRESSABLE RGB STRIMER Plus 8-PIN”
I have not increased voltage on the cards I have modified, no instability or smoking wires. make sure you dont cross wires and they are making full contact. I do make sure the power requirements for the gpu and overall system are met spects wise on the power supply. check out my new video regarding your question for a bit more details.
@@gamesense8698 Hi! I was thinking, if i have a 2 power suplyies, and i dont have any 6 pin conectors i can use one to make a 6, pinnconecfor out of the 24 pin one?
@@androidforfree212 yes, make sure the part you cut off has the exact type of connectors as some connectors or pins are sguare and some are somewhat rounded off just make sure they imitate the six pin that you have shape by shape if not shape them with a sharp blade that works for me very carefully is not easy as you can end up cutting too much.
Good advice, if you have an old PSU, replace it with a used PSU, used market for PSU is good, for $50-60 you can even get fully modular 850W gold PSU. But thanks for the video
I've been using 6pin on my 8pin rx 470 for 3 years with no issues I've gone to 99% load before with no issues is there a problem with using 6pin on rx 470 everywhere online says no you shouldnt but it doesn't really use more then pcie and 6pin provide already as it hovers around 120w to 150w but pcie and 6pin provide around 75w each anyways

For a cheap card and a power supply who can give 150 watt to the gpu it a good idea otherwise doesn 't make any sence to take a risk just buy new PSU !
hey bro i have the same problem that you have i need just 2more pin but in game i get like 60 Fps and after each 6 seconds it goes down to 15 fps when i did the benchmark i saw that when this drop frame happens in the same time the Graphic usage goes down like 80% to 30-20% is that the problem from the pins ?
If your pc is not blue screening or crashing probably not, could be a cpu or gpu bottle neck, or both items need to be upgraded lower down your graphics settings also running benchmarks usually pushes the cpu and gpu to the max I burned out a bunch of older cards that way from creating too much heat. Im almost 100 percent is not the pins also didnt quite understand if you actually did the mod or your gpu is missing the pins from the power supply, but your still able to use the card with the missing pins, in some instances some cards do power up with only one 8 or six pin connector but can't really remember which one's I do remember hearing something similar from Brian, from tech yes city.
Most PSUs from 2010 and beyond have a 6pm connector design that has 3 12-volt pins instead of just 2, and those connectors are actually rated for 150W like a regular 8 pin/6+2 pin connector. All the extra 2 pins do are Sense and GND.
@@RhuanTob The 6 18awg wires can easily handle up to 300+ W in total. With standard ATX power supplies, the 2 extra pins on 6 pin connectors give clearance for a maximum 150W draw, and 75W if otherwise. The only concern should be whether or not the rail can supply enough for the connected devices. So in theory, using a 6 to 8 pin adapter is fine.
Why would you instruct people to create a fire hazard.? First that supply 310 watts is barely enough to supply power to a Motherboard and CPU at idle never mind the power demands that the GPU will place on it. 2 jumping wires at the plug is not the same as running a second wire from the source, the added current demand placed on the single wire you jumperd to will cause it to heat up and cause a fire hazard. Finaly just a warning By posting a video detailing how to doing somthing foolish you are placing yourself in a position to be legally liable if the procedure in the video results in the video card to short out or burn up or cause a fire do yourself a favor and delete it. There is a reason why the card requires the wire circuits is Because it needs them
Q: Dont work with only 6pin connector? aditional 2pins conector is really necesary? Extra 2 pins adapters... sound as more problems, more probabilty of fault... burn, toast, etc. I think if you card is rated below >120w you can only put 6pin connector... in the fact 6pin conector can deliver as 216w (not only 75w as many people says.... think about it how a 2 extra ground can multiply this to 2 how 3positive can deliver 75w with 3negative and 150w with 5negative... is not possible... power is same, and paths to ground has many many many in many pins)
Watch the next video regarding your concern, make sure the power supply has enough wattage for a specific GPU. The way I do it is the way the PSU factories make the newer ones or the ones with more pins.
