where can i get one

I don't think you can as it would draw way too much power for a single cable. If this is for a X570 board or Z390/Z490 you don't need the second CPU power (4 pin) connector unless you have one of the high end cpu's and are really pushing very high overclocks.

ryzon 3900x msi x570 the new one evga 850 power supply

Silverstone sell a PCI to EPS, up to you. Not sure if a 3900X even overclocked breaks 384w.

out of interest if you have the 8pin and 4pin connector on your PSU should you plug them both in? got a ryzen 3600 on msi x570

Doubt it would make any difference with a 3600, but not going to hurt anything if you do have the cable there.

You would basically need liquid nitrogen cooling to have need for more power than what 8 pin EPS12V is rated for.

I have a 3900X on an MSI x570 ACE, I only have one 8 pin EPS cable in the board, ive tried it with 2 and doesnt make a blind bit of difference except add to the cable clutter, so I took the other one out, its running fine with 1.
