1.0 out of 5 stars Item not as photo, not fit for anything. 23 May 2011
It would appear that there are a batch of incorrect connectors going around at the moment, as this was the first one of many of these I have ordered that won't fit any graphics card available on the market today. The wiring is perfect, but the connector is completely the wrong shape to fit the power connector.

The photograph shows the "correct" 6-pin layout, with 4 rounded (R) pins and 2 square (S) pins, as so:
RRS
SRR
[clip]

but what I actually received was the following:
RRS
SSR
[clip]

which a simple Google search will indicate does not exist at all to fit any graphics card ever.

So I returned it, but I leave this review as a warning for anyone looking for this type of adapter: The correct ones appear to be completely impossible to find, email sellers first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works 31 Aug 2011
By Kaylesh
It came in cheap packaging which wasn't correctly sealed, which basically opened like a sleeve. But the packaging isn't that worrying, as I have 2 XFX Radeon 6870s in CrossFire mode, and this cable powered both sufficiently. (I already had 2 6+2 connectors with my original PSU.)

NOTE: Although a few have had problems with their cables not fitting, mine fit snugly in to XFX Radeon HD 6870s (both of them, to be exact.) without any necessary modification. As far as I know all Radeon HD 6870s (no matter which retailer) have the same 2 x 6 pin input. Highly recommend these if your PSU hasn't got a sufficient amount of 6/6+2 pin connectors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very tight fit but it works 11 Sep 2010
By Dave
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this adaptor to provide extra power to my PCIe graphics card (GeForce 8800) as my power supply had plenty of spare molex but no PCIe 6 pin power lead. The molex ends of this adaptor fit fine but the PCIe plug was extremely tight into the socket on the graphics card. Even though all the pins are the right shape I couldn't get it to fully insert. I was getting "insufficient power" messages from the Nvidia driver before but these have now stopped so it would appear that it is getting power through to the card so it is doing the job intended. Obviously it may be that the problem is with the socket on my card, not the adaptor, but even so I'm just going with a three star rating. Delivery was okay. can't fault the price.

Used this on a build with a cheaper PSU that only had a single 6-Pin, this allowed me to use a more powerful graphics card without the need of another PSU.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, very poor connections for gaming. 6 April 2013
By Mike
I understand that I may have been silly in attempting to save money on the psu as the amount of different adapters I have needed to get this psu to match my setup is ridiculous. When all the components are in place and all the adapters are working it's a great buy, I can even show off a 7970 in my pc with this thing, I probably in the future won't skimp on the power supply as I just can be bothered spending hours on amazon trying to find the correct adapters, it's just not worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits okay for me 26 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
Used it as a replacment lead on a Nvidia 7800GT and it fits snugly. Some others have noted that it does not fit for them, so I was a bit apprehensive.
