Does what it says on the tin. I replaced my graphics card and was caught off guard when it came with an eight pin power slot, but my power supply only had a six, I thought I was going to have to buy a new power supply, but this simple adapter came in at a fraction of the price and works just great.

Beneath the insulation these are made of extremely thin 25 AWG wire! That's 7 sizes too small, and nowhere near sufficient to carry the power these connectors are supposed to be rated for. I'm not surprised people are reporting fires etc. These are highly unsafe and should be withdrawn from sale. Attached photo shows 18 AWG wire on the left (the smallest gauge permissible for this connector), and this item's wire on the right.

Under rated wire thickness for these connectors. I connected this to a new graphics card i had bought and it started smouldering and got very hot, I noticed this fast and turned my pc off before a fire started. Very dangerous and I do not recommend these for devices that have a high current draw, like a new graphics card.

At first this was working well... until a week later when the computer started randomly rebooting. Another week later, I smelt a burning smell; opened up the case and realised one end of this product has melted! I have since replaced it and the computer now works without problems. Avoid!

Don't try to run too much power through this item. Play it safe. I don't think I got too much above 75W (card was doing about 150W+, perhaps drawing 75W from the motherboard) and the cable melted.
