Is CPU 8 pin the same as PCIE 8 pin?

no as the pin shapes are different so you cpu 8 pin will not fit into a 8pin pci-e port.

Is it safe to use 6pin to 8pin?

If a 8Pin 18AWG cable can go safely to 300watts, so can a 6pin. But if you use 6pin 24AWG wire it will melt and probably catch fire. If you are just going from 6 to 8pin, it won’t make a difference.

Do I need both 8 pin GPU power connector?

Some low-end and mid-range graphics cards can only use the PCI Express x16 slot as a power source, but more demanding cards will need to use 6-pin or 8-pin PCI Express power connectors. In that case, the power requirement is the sum of two (or more) connected graphics cards.

Are all 8 pin PCIE the same?

Generally, all 8-pin connectors FROM THE SAME PSU will be the same and can be put anywhere.

Can I use 8-pin cpu on GPU?

So in theory the card should be absolutely fine. For reference, if the card has just an 8-pin connector, then if you powered it with an EPS12V, it would have been exposed to -12V which would have almost certainly have caused it to fry – and would probably also have taken the motherboard out along with it!

What does EPS12V mean?

EPS12V refers to the 8-pin connector used for CPU power. ATX12V is the form factor (ATX form factor, supplies 12V, internally converted to 5v and 3.3v as well).

Are Molex connectors safe?

An improperly-manufactured molex to SATA adapter can pose a serious safety risk. And we don’t just mean that you can lose your hard drive. Under the “right” circumstances, your computer can catch fire.

How much wattage does a 8 pin PCIe connector provide?

The PCI Express slot of the motherboard can provide up to 75 watts to the graphics card. 6-pin power connector can provide up to 75 watts. 8-pin power connector can provide up to 150 watts.

What is the difference between EPS and PCIe?

The way to tell the difference between PCIE cables and EPS cables is that PCIe cables will have a bridged terminal while EPS will not.
