Only one I could find. I can find tons of extension cables, but they won't help you.

I would either get that one, or get on the phone to your friend.


/e You need male to male. Or...both ends have to be the same...like in your pic...or the pics on Amazon.

No....the white end is female...won't plug into the power supply.

The one I linked is 21" long which is just about right. You're supposed to run the cable behind the motherboard tray anyways. Like this...












/e That cable in your first post is for the CPU power connector on the top left of your motherboard. 8 pin to 4+4 pin.

You need to look at your power supply. I would imagine the PCIe cables have an 8 pin plug on the power supply end.

That cable you linked is a 6 pin to 6+2 pin. You need an 8 pin to 6+2 pin. Male to male.

I don't think the 6+2 pin will go into the connector on the power supply end.



This is your power supply...

Just found out that a 6+2 and 6 works as an 8pin and 6.

Better hope that fool was right. ^^


/e Electrically it will work. I doubt it will work mechanically.
