Power adapter cable GameMax GAMEMAX VGA/CPU 2x8pin-B — dual 8-pin PCIe/CPU power cable

GameMax GAMEMAX VGA/CPU 2x8pin-B is a dual 8-pin power adapter cable designed to deliver stable power from a compatible PSU to two 8-pin connectors used by graphics cards or CPUs. With a compact 300 mm length and a VGACPU 2x8PIN connection type, the cable routes PSU lines to two separate 8-pin PCIe/CPU plugs, making it suitable for builds where direct connectors are limited or where cable routing needs to be adjusted for a cleaner layout.

Advantages

The adapter provides two fully formed 8-pin outputs from a single input connection, enabling compatibility with high-power graphics cards and motherboards that require dual 8-pin power. Its 300 mm cable length allows flexible placement within a PC case without excessive slack. The cable construction focuses on reliable electrical contact and adequate insulation for typical desktop system power delivery needs.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting a high-power GPU that requires two 8-pin PCIe connectors when the PSU lacks native outputs
• Supplying additional CPU power on motherboards that accept dual 8-pin CPU connectors
• Re-routing power connections to achieve neater cable management in compact or full-size cases
• Temporary or permanent GPU upgrades where a direct dual 8-pin supply is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 300 mm
• Connection type: VGACPU 2x8PIN (dual 8-pin output)
• Output connectors: two 8-pin PCIe/CPU plugs
• Purpose: power adapter for GPU and/or CPU dual 8-pin requirements

How to use

Before installation, power off the system and disconnect the PSU from mains. Identify the appropriate PSU connector that matches the adapter input and align the 8-pin plugs with the GPU or motherboard sockets, ensuring the latch engages. Route the 300 mm cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of fans and heat sources. After connections are secure, reconnect power and verify that the system powers on and the target component receives power. If the system fails to start, recheck all connections and consult the motherboard or GPU documentation for correct pin orientation.

Usage recommendations

Use this adapter only with a PSU that provides sufficient wattage and current on the relevant rails to support the connected GPU or CPU. Avoid using adapters to exceed PSU capabilities; when in doubt, choose a PSU with native multiple 8-pin outputs. Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for signs of wear, overheating, or loose contacts and replace the cable if any damage is found.
