You could just as well given an answer of "do it properly" rather than your stupidity in asking me what was complicated as a response to my question. Honestly, this is a question and answer site what the heck are you doing here if you can not answer a question properly? | |

| Jun 11, 2017 at 15:24 | comment | added | Lior Bilia | 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. | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 14:07 | comment | added | Nepaluz | The link to the cable is what may work for me (though it seems to have been discontinued). As for 'just sticking wire in the right place', you clearly have no idea what you are giving advice about as I pointed out earlier the two are wired differently and the 8 pin PCIe is NOT all +ve and -ve as the EPS is, let alone that was the gist of my question. But never mind. | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 12:30 | comment | added | Tom Carpenter | 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? | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 12:29 | comment | added | Tom Carpenter | See my last comment. I gave you a link to an adapter! | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:47 | comment | added | Nepaluz | Do you have ANY link to an adapter? I have looked high and low but can not find one. | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:46 | comment | added | Nepaluz | The pin layout for 8 pin PCIe is not all +ve and -ve as is with EPS, though polarity is switched on EPS compared to PCIe. Are you certain what you are advising me to do is the correct way to go about this? | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:42 | comment | added | Tom Carpenter | Or just buy an adapter. | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:41 | comment | added | Tom Carpenter | Both are 12V. There is no "polarity swap", you just have to put the right wires in the right place. | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:40 | comment | added | Nepaluz | Is it a straight polarity swap? | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:39 | comment | added | Tom Carpenter | Chop the ends off, buy new 8pin connector, buy crimp pins, crimp on in correct order. Not sure it can elaborate more than that. | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:36 | comment | added | Nepaluz | care to expand on that? Is it a straight polarity swap? | |
| Jun 11, 2017 at 11:25 | comment | added | Tom Carpenter | Crimp on new connectors. | |
