8pin Power cables for 2900xt

Does anyone know where to get these from? I'm not totally sure what they are known as, but i know what they look like.

I remember reading that proper 8 pin pcie cables cant be converted, something about a sensor wire. I think I read that on that jonnyguru forum, might be worth a look.

I presume you want this so you can overclock the card?

have a read here

well, i'm not bothered about using ATI's "overdrive " crap. I just figured i'd use the correct connectors so i didn't encouter any problems later on, but that thread helps. I'll just use 2 6-pins and a third party program like Riva.

But out of curiosity, would this work?

NO! That is for the motherboard and if you plug that into your graphics card it will most likely make a nice little (expensive) light effect.

You saved me some cash both ways there. I was just about to order it!

THANKS! :D


I'll just use two 6pin's from my mobo for now until I find A) a working cable or B) buy a new(and better) PSU.

Thanks for the info guys.
