Powering GPU without enough 6 pin connectors from power supply

Status
Not open for further replies.
Just like the title. I am trying to power a second GPU but it requires two connectors for power. I have the 8 pin connection to the motherboard but it needs additional power from the power supply, I only have one 6 pin connector from the power supply available but I want to use two cards. What is the best approach to solve this problem? I want to make sure the power to the card is safe and steady.


My power supply is more than capable in terms of wattage, but all the 6 pins are already in use on the build.



I know there are splitters for this but I was hoping for guidance on how to choose a well fitted cable. I am have the power capacity to install this, I just am out of 6 pin connectors. Thank you
