I've modded a 12vhp cable to be direct attached to the wires out of 3x 8pin pcie power

the correct pin out has been tested with a multimeter  (the 6 closest to the locking pin is ground)

correct cable lenght and space saving.

if not: 12vhp strimer -> 12vhp adapter with 3x 8 pin female ->  3x pcie power cables

Depending on whether the graphics card follows 12V 2x6 or 12VHPWR, you'll either get no power, or 150W. Or if the graphics card manufacturer does not care, it'll just work normally

12pin gpu have been melting and unless your a professional with electronics you wont be asking the question. im guessing your not so its not a matter of looks its a matter of it not melting... you want argb you can buy ones that just clip on the cable.

ty for this. i did multimeter(piiping mode)  the adapter you get in the box (the 3x 8pin to 12vhp) and the sense pins didnt go to anything?

If it's a 600W cable, sense 0 and 1 should be connected to ground. The other two are irrelevant

Isnt it strange that i cant "piip" the sense wires on the orignal  adapter to any of the  8pins in the connector?

2 of the wires goes to nothing, 2 goes to one of the 8pin connectors but cant get a connection.

 

anyways i gather from this that only problem i can run into is a 150w cap
