Athena Power Cable-EPS8PCIE6282 10 in. Cable Male to Male

Pros: Made my Antec P280 Case more organized. Nicely made. Good connectors

Cons: Wrapped wires would have been better looking.

Overall Review: I needed extra length cables for my Antec P280 Case. A lot of new cases have the ability to route power cables around back for looks and less air flow interfearance. I could not have done so, with out a cable like this. It's a cable.. it did the job I needed.

Pros: No problems. Glad this thing worked.

Cons: Didn't plug itself in.

Overall Review: Never buy a girl an electric toothbrush. You won't see her for weeks.

Pros: Affordable, honest markings.

Cons: Small wire gauge.

Overall Review: Acquired from another vendor. Workmanship seems acceptable/as expected; probably the crimped connectors are the weakest points in all of these given pictures from people who have burnt out various PCI-E power splitters. The wire gauge is 20AWG. Under ideal circumstances that means the individual wires should become a filament (AKA guaranteed smoke) around 10A, or 120W@12V. You probably want to stay well, _well_ under that limit. In theory the load should be spread across 3 conductors [or 6 conductors for the pair] so take your card's draw and divide it by 3 or 6 to guess how close you are to the smoke point, or whatever is the 'waste a bunch of electricity and melt all the insulation off before that' point. Now assume something happens at one of the crimps. Now instead of that safety factor of /3, you're down to /2 on that connector. But if your card needs that much power you maybe should not be trying to squeak by with a splitter in the first place. I'm hoping this works adequately with a Radeon 7870 on a PSU with decent wire gauges and a single adequate 12V rail. If you have a more ridiculously power-hungry card, please realize that this is only doubling your connectors, not so much the power you can push through the wires safely. People have discovered no-name? splitters that are actually using thick "counterfeit" wire jackets labeled 18AWG but concealing the minimal amount of copper they can get away with, so at least with this model you probably got what you paid for and know its actual limits.

Pros: I purchased an antech truepower trio 650 watts power supply. I knew it would be more then enough power to run the bulk of the graphic cards out there . The downside is it didnt have an 8 pin pcie plug. I thought i was goin to have to purchase a new power supply. Luckaly athena has became my hero. Since my power supply had 2 different 6 pin pcie connections (i think on different 12v rails.) I was able to take one of those 6 pins and convert it to an 8 pin. In doing so I took the new 8 pin connector (on one rail) and the 6 pin 2nd rail hooked them up and worked perfectly. The gtx 280 require both a 6 pin and 8 pin connection

Cons: It made me plug it in. Im lazy it should have done it for me

Overall Review: My tribute to athena. Ty for saving me 200 bucks Athena Did you ever know that youre my hero, And everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, For athena is the wind beneath my wings. Its a bird no a plane no its super athena Aint no need to feer Athena is here. Ok im done lol

Pros: Came out of the plastic bag easily. Plugged in perfectly and works great!

Cons: I couldn't find any , and I looked for hours at the adapter. I just couldn't come up with any issues.

Overall Review: This is one of the best cables I have ever owned. The colors are perfect and it plugs into the pci-x cards with ease. If you could own just one adapter in the world, this MUST be the one you own. (Seriously, this is a cable. What is there really that can be said about it).

Pros: Did exactly what was needed for my power-hungry video card - fill the 6-pin and 8-pin pci-e connections, with an extra to spare. Attached smoothly without any problems.

Cons: Doesn't fetch my newspaper.

Overall Review: Shipping could be a little bit cheaper.. comes in a way oversized parcel.

Pros: - Worked (for a day)

Cons: - Where do i start with this, first off if you need a second 4 pin for a GPU then do yourself a favor and just spend the extra 80 on a new power supply, if your PSU didn't come with another 4 pin there is a reason for it. Even though i have seen so many people say stay away from these things being the cheap person i am i bought it anyway and guess what, a day later it fried my PSU and GPU so yea glad i had a warranty on the graphics card. This is the only review i have ever done and this is just my warning to STAY THE HELL AWAY.

Pros: It connects to one of your Male 6 pin PCIe connectors and converts it into (2) 8 pin Male conectors (1 long , 1 short). Does the Job !

Cons: Took a few days to get here, cause my Rush Shipping Failed, but NewEgg made it up to me with a refund of the Rush charge....No problems.

Overall Review: Well worth the money. If you need a 8 pin PCIe for your New Game Card, and you have at least 2 PCIe 6 pin connectors...this will convert one of those 6pin connectors into two 8 pins....which should then give you the one 6pin, and one 8 pin that you need...Plus and extra 8pin left over....Can't beat that for the price.
