2 Molex to 8 Pin Adapter | Powering to the Hardware Components

Last Updated on August 23, 2022 by Jim Eddy Leave a Comment

2 Molex to 8 Pin Adapter

A 2 Molex to 8 pin adapter serves the purpose of powering components, most likely GPUs, with existing Molex connections on a PSU (Power Supply Unit). So, if you’ve recently bought a new graphics card with 8-pin PCI power connections, your old PSU can still power it. However, there have been several reports regarding such adapters failing, presumably due to the constraints of … [Read more...] about 2 Molex to 8 Pin Adapter | Powering to the Hardware Components

2 Separate Cables for GPU

2 Separate GPU cables have both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, using 2 separate cables can improve the performance of your system. Again, on the other hand, using 2 separate cables can be more difficult to set up and can lead to compatibility issues.  Whether or not to use 2 separate GPU cables is ultimately a matter of personal preference and needs. Two … [Read more...] about 2 Separate Cables for GPU | Should I Use?

2 Molex to 8 Pin GPU | Is It Safe to Connect?

Last Updated on March 13, 2023 by Jim Eddy Leave a Comment

2 Molex to 8 Pin GPU

Theoretically, it is possible to use 2 Molex to 8 pin adapters to power GPUs, at least the less power-hungry ones. It is, however, not a good long-term solution as Molex connectors are not the best alternative to PCIe power cables. Besides, it can be a hit or miss depending on your GPU configuration.  For example, let’s assume the PSU manages to power the GPU through … [Read more...] about 2 Molex to 8 Pin GPU | Is It Safe to Connect?
