Power cable for 9060xt

Noom4

Hi, do you have a recommendation for the power cable to connect a 9060xt to my ex pro dock? I can only find splitters like this on amazon

Noom4 Hi there,the cable can be used.

Noom4

thank you! a supplier i am in contact with was unsure of being able to get the right thing. They regularly do 1×8pin (psu) to 2×8pin (gpu) but not the reverse. Am I understanding correctly that the direction doesn’t matter?

That cable from Amazon didn’t fit (physically) - I didn’t realise but there was one square pin instead of all being chamfered. I am still looking for something appropriate but haven’t been able to find as yet. It does seem to be a difficult beast to find.

Just so I’m clear though it’s ok to use a splitter (rather than needing to source a bespoke cable)?

If you are able to assist me to source something it would be very much appreciated.

Noom4 Hi there,what’s the splitter do you want to use?
You could search the cable on Amazon usually.

I bought one of these per messages above

https://www.amazon.com.au/8pin-Male-Power-Splitter-Cable/dp/B0C1NT32B5?th=1

It didn’t work as only 7 pins and the wrong pattern of square vs chamfered shaped headers. I have searched very extensively and unable to find the right thing. I have also engaged several custom cable suppliers but they are also unable locate. Some have said they may be able to make one.

Are you able to provide me a recommendation or the pinout spec?

I’m sure I’m misunderstanding something so requesting that you help clarify for me.

Does a splitter cable actually work? It seems more like I need to combine the 2 psu outputs into 1 gpu input, rather than what all the cables I can find are doing which is to split one psu output into 2 gpu inputs.

Noom4 Hi,please search"PCIE 8 Pin Male to Dual Pcie 8pin Male Cable,GPU Power Adapter Cable "on Amazon.

Hi, I have searched extensively on Amazon, ebay, etsy and custom cable manufacturers. All I am able to find is splitter cables. For example, this one, https://www.amazon.com.au/COMeap-Power-Adapter-Cable-13-inch/dp/B07HCYDK5K/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

The description suggests it will not work.

『PCIe 8P - Dual 8P(6+2)』PCIe 8 pin male end to plug into the power connector of Dell motherboard and two 8 pin(6+2) male ends (The 8 pin (6+2) ends could be used as 6 pin or 8 pin end by sliding on/off the 2 pin.) to plug into the video graphics card.(NOTE: the 8 pin end and two 8 pin(6+2) male ends cannot be used interchangeably);

I may be misunderstanding though…. could you clarify please?

thanks for this. It turns out I don’t need an extra cable, just needed to wait a bit longer between powering the dock and the cpu so it enumerates fully in the slot (and then enable fast boot). All up and running now and smashing huge fps!!
