Description

StarTech LP4PCIEX8ADP LP4 to 8-Pin PCIe Power Adapter

Overview

The StarTech LP4PCIEX8ADP adapter allows you to connect a standard LP4 power supply connector to an 8-pin PCI Express video card. This is crucial when your power supply unit (PSU) lacks the native 8-pin PCIe power connectors required by modern high-performance graphics cards, or when you need to repurpose older PSUs in new builds. The LP4PCIEX8ADP ensures compatibility without requiring a full PSU replacement, making it a cost-effective solution for system upgrades and builds. The 6-inch cable length provides sufficient reach for most internal chassis layouts. This adapter is built with 18 AWG wire, ensuring robust power delivery suitable for demanding PCIe devices.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed to connect one 8-pin (6+2 pin) PCI Express power connector to a power supply that provides at least two available LP4 (4-pin Molex) power connectors. It is compatible with virtually any ATX or EPS power supply unit featuring LP4 connectors and any graphics card or other PCIe expansion card requiring an 8-pin or 6-pin PCIe power input. Ensure your PSU has sufficient wattage capacity for the connected PCIe device.

Installation Notes

Connect the two LP4 connectors from your power supply to the corresponding inputs on the adapter. Then, connect the 8-pin PCIe connector to the power input port on your graphics card or other PCIe device. Verify that all connections are secure. The 18 AWG wire gauge supports the power demands of most consumer and professional graphics cards.
