PSU with 4 PCIe?
PSU with 4 PCIe?
Wayfall shared their experience with an EVGA G2 550w Gold rated monitor. It comes with two PCIE cables, each containing four 8-pin connectors, totaling eight connectors. Two of these pins can be pulled back, allowing flexibility in connector type. This setup is the optimal solution available. Thank you!
I own an EVGA G2 550w Gold rated unit with 2 PCIE cables, each containing two 8-pin connectors (providing 4xPCIE power cables). The design allows some pins to be pulled back, enabling flexibility between 8-pin and 6-pin configurations. This setup offers the optimal solution available.
Wayfall shared his experience with an EVGA G2 550w Gold rated monitor. It comes with two PCIE cables, each containing four 8-pin connectors, giving a total of eight power cables. The design allows some pins to be pulled back, making it versatile for either 8-pin or 6-pin configurations. This setup is highly recommended for optimal performance. If you require additional power, the EVGA 750B2 offers a more competitive price and features four PCIe 6+2 pin connectors.
The 4 x 8 pin PCI-E power cables each support 150 watts, meaning you'll require a robust power source if you need that much capacity. When paired with the PCI-E port and two graphics cards, it would total around 750 watts (the cards themselves don’t waste all the power). This high demand is likely why such power supplies are expensive.
I suggest this option:

EVGA power supplies include a connector for attaching an ATX MOBO cable to verify functionality.

You receive a tiny black connector that you connect to the ATX cable from the PSU. Then you connect the PSU to the wall and activate the power switch, and the PSU should start working.
I used this setup when I believed the PSU had failed because my computer would suddenly shut down (it would 'click' off). I thought a surge had caused it to turn off, so it was protecting the PC.
Also a quick reminder. If you opt for a fully modular design, the ATX MOBO power cable has one end going into the MOBO connector and the other ending splits into two smaller MOBO-style cables. Both of these fit into the slots on top of the PSU.
The adapter that shuts down when power is cut isn't ideal for testing power supplies.
A power supply with minimal load might operate without issues, but under higher loads it could fail (shut off if necessary).
These adapters are still helpful for connecting liquid cooling systems and performing leak tests.
