    Both are 12V. There is no "polarity swap", you just have to put the right wires in the right place.

    You literally just have to stick the wires in the right place. There is nothing more to it. You put the 12V wires where the 12V pin are on the PCIe connector and the GND wires where the GND wires are. Why is that so confusing?

    What Tom says is this: Since the signals are the same (12V and GND) you can extract the pins from the connector and rearrange them to suit the PCIe standard. However, the shrouds are not compatible.

    @Nepaluz If you look at Tom's comment from the 11th, where it says "buy an adapter" is a hyperlink to an example of such an adapter.
