Hello guys.

I have just started the epic quest of making my own custom cables.

Among many other problems, I just realized that I don´t know if I could plug in a 6 pin gpu power cable on my power supply into a 6 pin socket labeled as "peripheral & sata". I have been trying to find the voltages that those sockets display, but I haven´t had much luck.

I am using a Corsair CX750M and so far I have used a double 6+2 pin cable to power my gpu. The only solution that I can come up with is to make a cable with a 6 pin connector on the gpu end and an 8 pin connector to plug into the psu. I would just like to have to complete separate cables, an 8 pin and a 6 pin one.

Cable I´ve been using:

Any ideas? I am kinda lost here.

If you are lost on this part, I do not advise you continue trying to make your own power cables.

What I do advise is you connect the cables to the power supply correctly. For instance, GPU cables go to '6+2 PCI-E". You can then attach adapters to the other end, the end away from the power supply, to give you the connector you need. For instance, at the end of the Molex connectors you could attach a Molex to pci-ex connector, to give you the extra 6+2 pin you want.

By the way, I don't recommend using adapters. If you have a component that needs two 6+2 pin connectors, but your power supply only has one, then buy a power supply that has them. By using adapters you are showing you think all power supplies are the same and half assing a...

By using adapters you are showing you think all power supplies are the same and half assing a connector is acceptable. They aren't and it isn't.
