10 lip 2021 · I had assumed that upgrading my graphics card to the EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra would be safe and possible. As I took the card out of the box, I noticed there were 3 8 pin PCIE slots on the...
24 wrz 2020 · I need to replace a 2-pin fan on my PSU unit. The fan is 40x40x20, DC12V, 0.15A. I am replacing the fan because the noise is unbearable, >75dB right next to it. Can I simply buy a 3-pin fan and...
15 sie 2020 · The 8 pin connector can carry up to 150W of power from the source to the sink (read: source is PSU, and the sink is the graphics card). In the same way the 6 pin connector is designed to safely carry the current for up to 75Watt. Thus you can safely split on 8 pins connector as follows.
6 paź 2020 · Avoid adapters with blank wires since they are very cheaply made with very thin wires that are not capable of transferring so much current and they can easily melt. Good quality adapters...
3 wrz 2022 · A 6+8-pin set-up (along with the PCI Express x16 slot) will provide up to 300W of total power to just your GPU. If your particular model needs even more than that, you’ll have to connect two 8-pin connectors which — when combined with the PCIe slot — can provide a whopping 375W of power.
Sense pins are connected to ground at power supply or adapter cable. This allows the PCIE card to detect if a supply cable is connected or not, and whether a 6-pin supply is connected to 8-pin socket to indicate less power is available. It is not used by the power supply for "remote voltage sensing" to compensate for voltage drop over the wiring.
31 sie 2017 · Buy Adapters or Power Converter Cables for 6-pin PCI-E and 8-pin PCI-E connectors. 6-pin power connector can supply 75 Watt to the graphics card while 8-pin power connector can deliver maximum of 150W to your graphics card.
