Silly q, but i'd best ask to avoid frying an expensive motherboard.
I have a bunch of these which would be used on a GPU.
From looking at it, these PCIe 8pins look the same as an EPS8pin.. or am i right in thicking they use the same connecor... just wired differently.
For reference, EPS socked on the MSI Ace
Can i use these on a motherboard EPS socket?
The only difference i see between the 2, is the 8th female pin is cuved rather than square.. but i have tested with an EPS 8pin extension lead, and it fits fine
