    Are 6-pin to 8-pin adapters safe for GPUs?

    I know it´s the best choice, but it´s complicated too, in my country I can´t find a reliable brand of psu´s And it´s working fine your gpu? The gpu that I want to buy, rx 570 MSI, is a 150w. It would be risky, right? because I´m in the limit

    Are 6-pin to 8-pin adapters safe for GPUs?

    I trust in the brand, but the only thing risky is that my psu has seven years yes, that´s a big issue, because a crappy cable could ruin some component of the pc I don´t buy the psu yet, I was looking for information today and I read that the efficiency of the psu could change over time. Mine...

    You got a point there, but I really don´t know what is the real risk with the adapter

    That is the best option, I know, but the prices in my country are too high. For example, only the 6 pin to 8 pin adapter cost me 14 dollars.

    Oh, I think it could be work only with the 6 pin to 8 pin, but I don´t know nothing about psu´s. This is my full system specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ I found that the power consumption is 330w and I worry about it, these are real watts? What do you think?

    I´m a rookie in oc, so I won´t do that. I calculate the load wattage of my pc with the rx570 and it gave me between 332w and 345w. It´s safe?

    Yours psu´s rocks! :rockout: Well now I think that I can try with the adapter. What´s the worst scenario, if something goes wrong?

    In my case I want to use it with a Seasonic 400w (ss400es). Do you think it´s fine? My cpu is i5 3550 (77w)

    It's great to hear that because I read that there a fire risk, and I was afraid of using it

    Are 6-pin to 8-pin adapters safe for GPUs?

    Hi, I wonder if I could use a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter and if it safe. I found differents arguments about this subject. For example, the XFX rx570 incluides this adapter, but some people say that the adapters are dangerous. I want to buy a MSI rx570 armor but my psu just have 6 pin. Thanks!
