- How to install a graphics card with power cable adapter?
Installation of the PCI-E graphics card isn't difficult, but when you have an old power supply, you may run into the problem of missing the right connectors.
I my video I have shown how to solve the problem, I used the graphics card with an 8 pin power connector. You can use an adapter for Molex connectors that are in every PC. It's not the best solution; replacing the power supply is a much better idea, so do it if you can.
Adapters can be poor quality and so make sure that all Molex pins are well connected. It is a good idea to check that the connections between the Molex and the 8-pin connector are correct before you start the installation. I've heard that the computer was damaged when the cables were swapped in adapter.

this is literally the only video i could find showcasing this thankyou
thank you, the one person that can show the 2 molex pins into 1 8 pin connector, makes sense how it works now.
Great, thanks for watching

danke man du hast mir echt geholfen, dachte man braucht unbedingt einen 8pin stecker aber ich sehe gerade du hast 1mal den 6pin stecker genommen und denn 2 pin stecker und das geht also auch , danke like und abo sind da. kuss
Hey man I have a question. Can you test the small 2 pin pcie cable if it shows voltage? Or resistance or anything like that. When I put in a Multimeter into both the pins i dont have any current. Great Vid!
Lmao, when that molex pin fell out - I felt that... Molex is so crap 🤣
It's only a temporary solution
@@k-nemo Using that exact 2x molex to PCI-E adapter you used, could I fulfill a third 8 pin connector on an Asus Strix 3080 safely? (The other 2 8 pins will be single 8 pin PCI-E cables from the 2 VGA ports on my PSU)

Hi, so my gpu has 2x6pin as the 1st or 2nd gpu in your video, but my psu has 8pin cable, how can i find the adapter and where, pls help i can't find it on internet :c
I have 450W psu and i planning to get GTS450, is it safe to use the 2 molex to 6 pin ??
Do those piggytail half the power of the pcie like 75 to the one and 75 to to the other one? Then what if my gpu has only 8pin slot then it only uses 75 watts. Please answer me thanks
Kann man für eine Grafikkarte einen Adapter mit von 6 auf 8 Pin verwenden?
Oder erschießt man damit die Grafikkarte?
Die Grafikkarte (GTX 1660 hat 8 Pin und das Kabel vom Netzwerk leider nur 6 Pin.
An dem Kabel mit den 6 Pin ist noch ein Nebenkabel mit 2 Pin angebunden….
Ist das für eine Grafikkarte mit 8 Pin vorgesehen?

Awesome, thank you!
My gtx 960 requires a 6pin which is connected to a 6pin to 2x4pin molex adapter. The problem is that my 4pin molex connects right into my Mainboard and not psu. Would that still work?

Hey! One question, i have a MSI GTX 1650 Aero ITX that needs a 6 pin power connector, but i dont have the power connector and i am planning to buy an adapter like this, my psu has 500w and the minimum amount for the graphics card is 300w (the graphics card only uses 75w). How long should i use this adapter until i upgrade my psu? (upgrading my psu will be hard because i never built a pc before,but i think i have decent knowledge of pc tech)
Bro You can go with this connector it's perfect as the pcie express slot itselft provides 75 w of power and it only consumes 75w power so you are safe to go even in long term and your psu is also fine for this gpu
A 75W gpu is not even supposed to have pin connectors , only a few has .
@@pacif3rbolte yo beo i go a question i bought a gtx 660 it has psu power slot but do i need to connect to the external psu power cable or can i just connect staright to the motherboard and will it work
I have only one molex cable fron my PSU, can i plug in the 2 molex to 6 pins adapter to the same "line" of molex? Or it has to be in a separate line from the PSU?
I mean, i have 2 molex but in series, from the same cable.
Had it worked?
Bro i have gtx 1650 i have found that gtx 1650 is 75 wattage gpu but gigabyte new rev 3.0 gtx 1650 have 8pin pci express.... so my question is can i use dual molex to 8pin pci e adapter ?????😢😢
Im late lol but would 2x molex to 8pin be ok for rx 480? I have a 560w psu.
Bro my gold pins in the left side cant go all the way inside but when i turn the pc on the gpu work . But still the gold pins not all the way down . So how can i fix it and btw i tried to push it inside but doesnt work !...
if you are here and don't have 6/8 pins in gpu, don't worry low gpu's does not have pins to connect to psu as pcie slot itself provides the power.
yep
Yeah this is me, my problem is that I am upgrading my gpu and my old gpu didn’t need any cables. However, my new gpu needs a 6 pin adapter but there isn’t already one in the pc since my old one didn’t need it (i bought a prebuilt). Do u know what i am supposed to do??

Hi guys, please let me know-
Does Molex to 6pin Y splitter(2 molex port to single 6pin) works with GTX 1650?
(It requires max. 90W and I have 450w psu)
This comment may be offtopic from this video but, i have a graphics card with 16x pcie pin socket, but my 750w psu only has 14x pcie pin socket. Will it work with the new graphics card?
PCIe is the name of the data connector. The PSU has power connectors. You need to compare the power socket on the graphics card with the plug from the PSU
i had a loose connection in my 6 pin connector thus i had issues with auto off on problem like in the video
Hello, I have a loose 2 pin and two 6 pin. One 6 pin is installed at my current GPU. Im upgrading to a new GPU which has 8 pins. Is it safe to plug the loose 6pin and 2pin in the 8 pin socket? Also the 6 pin one which is linked to the current GPU has all the cables colored black but the loose 6 pin one has the cables in different colors (Brown, black, white etc.), are both 6 pin PCI-E the same or they differ?
Compare the shape of pins 1:56
i have 2 x 6 pins so, can i use 2 x 6pins to 8pin cable for my rx 580 8gb? and is it safe ? i have a antec truepower trio 550w psu

what is the white slider at 0:24 and at 0:37 ???
What is the cable you connect the molex into
power cable adapter

Can I use the adapter to run rtx 3060 ti, or at least with limit?
Use a psu of atleast 650watts to run it safely anything below that will damage your components
Hello I have an 700watts PSU but it only have 2x molex like in you video, and can it be used on a AMD RX 580?
Did it work?
Is you have a 2 pins you have to plug in can it be two different cables?
So i have a 6 pin but im unsure what slot i plug it into in the power supply
Hi my psu is generic atx 700w, is this safe to use?
You can check in Power Supply calculator. Adapters are only temporary solutions.
I have a Raidmax 530ss 80+ and it comes only with 6 + 6 PCI Express. But the GTX 970 requires one 8 + 6. So can I use a molex safely?
It should work. Read the description to the video.
@@k-nemo Yeah, it did work.
I am using a molex of 8 pins PCI Express for my GTX 970 and it works just fine.
My PSU is good enough because its an 80+ bronze Raidmax 530ss.

Very Good Video!!! But I have a question. My GPU uses TWO 6 pins but my PSU only has two Molex. Can I use a TWO single molex to 6 pin for each of the 6 pins?
yep
Thanks for a comment
i have 450 watt psu which has 2x moles pins can i use them to connect my gtx 1060 6gb with 2x 3pin molex to 6 pin pcie adapter.
Yes bro you can
Nice video! I have a question, I've bought a gtx 1650 (75w), I ordered the one without the 6pin connector but I received the one with it, my psu is 300w and it doesn't have the 6pin but only the 2 molex, is it safe for such a wattage to use the adapter?
Make sure 300W is not too little? The bigger, newer power supply will have different connectors.
@@k-nemo As for the whole wattage my psu can run the gpu and everything I have, simply I know that it's usually not suggested to use the adapter so Idk if it's better to buy the adapter or return the gpu
@@nier576 Im having the same Dilemma right now. Can I ask what did you do?
@@JNY_32 I used the 6pin 2 molex and it works perfectly, because the motherboard can stand already 75w so if your gpu is the same I have, or one that uses not much more than 75w it will work, just be sure that the psu has enough power for your gpu and use a 2molex and not 1molex because it will split the wattage between the two cables so it's safer
@@nier576 My PSU is also 300w and the GPU I ordered needs 75w ( also a 1650). The adapter I was looking to get has 2 molex to 1 6pin PCIe. I'm just afraid that the adapter turns out to be flammable
What happens if you force the 8 pin down ? And if you dent it will it still work I force mine then I didn't turn it on yet?
If it does not fit, do not press, 2:09
is this long lasting?
is the dual sata adapter to 8 pin is that same as dual molex to 8 pin in terms of power draw !
Yes
Hallo,
Von wo hast du den Adapter?

Thanks
whats the best motherboard for gtx 970?

Change PSU or use adaptor to Molex.
hey, I'm new to PC only been a month since I joined but I have a tv as a monitor on my wall (less expensive than a real monitor) could you still install the card without buying other components?
Yes. No problem. Use HDMI to connect the PC to the TV.
@@koagulasepositiv i figured it out earlier i meant to edit this comment but i forgot.about this
Help me, I have a new graphics card that needs 8, and I have a wire in the power supply that only has 6, and when I installed it, the screen was black. Is this because of the graphics card, or is 6 not enough?
Hey there. Got any solutions?
@@JackSparrow-ww1rx Yes . I bought a cable that connects bin 6 to bin 8 🙂
I don't have 6 pin what I have to do
Hi. I am planning to install the GPU myself and I can only see 1 molex that I can connect to my GPU. Is this safe with 1 molex connected? 6 pin pcie to 1 molex power cable connecting to 1 female molex from my PSU. It is just one and there no other molex.
Which GPU is it??
If it's GTX 1650 or lower then you can go with it but higher than 1650 then DO NOT TAKE THE RISK
Is it save to use dual molex connector for GTX 1060 3g and it have 6 pin
Is safe but it is only temporary solution. I wrote in the description.
Can I use both moment inputs in the adapter of the same molex relays? Or must i use a separate molec
it's better to use 2 separate Molex connectors for more power delivery because if you connect that adapter to the same Molex combine cable it would not make any difference like if you connect only one of them. Hope this makes sense.
How do I know if the psu supply i want to buy will work with my graphics card?
You should ask in the shop or any computer forum which power socket the model you have chosen has.
@@k-nemo what do you mean?
@@allenthomas914 Different graphics cards have different commectors. You mast check what connectors you have in PSU supply. Even similar graphics cards can have differents sockets.
Check the GPU power requirements (watts) at techpowerup.com and make sure it meets the PSU power output (also in watts. It should be written on the PSU itself) For example a GPU with power requirement of 300W will work no problem with, for example, 350 or 400W PSU
Check how much amperage can be delivered on the 12V rail.
thanks man

wait. so my graphics card has a 6 pin installation spot. do i just leave the other 6 and 2 pins to the side and only plug one of the 6 pin things in?
Yes
Does it have to be on separate Molex rails? or can it be on the same rail that has multiple Molex connectors?
Molex and Sata usually share a rail. You would want want one from each chain if you could. And this is only sort of safe for cards that draw 120w or less. If it needs 2 8 pins or 2 6 pins, your going to start a fire if you try using 2 of these adapters and 4 molex or sata connections.
@@mattdudley3789 I'm trying to power my Lian Li TL Fans that require a 6 pcie to power the fan connector hub, so i don't think i will be drawing as much as needed for a card. Roughly 60ish W or so if i added them all together... =X So seems like if i just use the molex cable + adaptor 2molex conenctors> 6Pcie power ... it should be safe is what it sounds like since i'm not gonna be pushing it anywhere near that high. (Only reason is my PSU already has 3 used for my GPU and 2 for my CPU/MOBO and there isn't any spares left)
