Are these the correct extension cables I need for a GPU?

thatfancypenn · Jun 19, 2014

I have the Corsair RM650 PSU, and I really want to change out the GPU and 24-pin cables on it. Now the 24-pin is self-explanatory, but there isn't any 6+2-pin PCI-E extension. I have the GTX 770 and I know it needs both the 6-pin and 6+2-pin. My question is, is the 8-pin PCI-E extension the 6+2?

Here is the link for it:

This may seem like a very stupid question to you, and I'm 99% sure it is the correct one, but I don't want to spend money for nothing.

Thank you.

Yes : 8 = 6+2

i7Baby :

I am aware of that.

Yes : 8 = 6+2

Well why ask?

I think the OP should get one "Extension Power Supply Cable, 1 x 8pin to PCI-E 8pin(6+2) Connector" like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162035&cm_re=power_extension_cable-_-12-162-035-_-Product otherwise the 8pin power connector may not fit well to the 6pin one.

Its the same as what he's looking at. 8 pin connectors are identical to 6+2

cin19 · Jun 19, 2014

Yes, 8=6+2, and the gtx770 need one 8pin and one 6pin, but the Bitfenix 8pin extension can't not separate into 6+2 pin, then for the 6 pin power connector on gtx770, the 8 pin may not fit well into the 6pin power connector, that is what I mean.

OK - then you need an 6 pin or 6+2 pin extension from Bit Fenix

I was going to get a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin as stated in my original post.

i7Baby :

This is not a matter of mathematics. I was wondering if the 8-pin was different from the 6+2-pin because I generally hear people talking about a 6+2-pin connector and not an 8-pin.

i7Baby · Jun 20, 2014

Normal power supplies have all 8 pins as 6+2 pin connectors

How about this http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Tek-Extension-Connector-PP07-PCIW/dp/B00B46XJ2K/ref=pd_sim_pc_15?ie=UTF8&refRID=1GA5WPTRHHS7SMFWJ2G5
Or this one http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Tek-Extension-Connector-PP07-IDE6W/dp/B00B46XJRK/ref=pd_sim_pc_56?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Q5V0BCGEHEQQVCA7JNC Because you need one for the 6pin power connector.

Yes I know that I need the 6-pin connector also. I already said that. I am not going to get that one, the Bitfenix one is cheaper.
