Quality PCIe power adapters?

Greetings fellow system builders.

 

I am a computer refurbisher, taking old systems and reviving them to be useful again!

 

Often I find myself needing PCIe 6-pin to 8-pin adapters to install decent GPU's into older machines to make them nice.

 

I have been buying these things from Amazon.  And well, I'm learning now, they're very very bad quality, getting very hot when used.  And sometimes literally de-soldering themselves from the connector.

 

So my question if anyone has recommendations:  Where can I purchase some good quality PCIe 6-pin to 8-pin adapters, not made with cheap hair-thin aluminum wiring?

 

Thanks for reading this.  Hope y'all got some good suggestions!
