Hey guy,

As the title suggests I am looking to buy a PCI-E 6+2 Pin connector head

Does anyone know where you can buy them? I can only find 6 Pin or 8 Pin.

Thanks

You could ask someone with a dead PSU to strip the connector off, or you could buy a dead one and do that. Why do you need 6+2 and not just 6 or 8 anyway?

It might be easier to buy a 6-pin to 8-pin (6+2) PCIe adapter power cable from a well known auction site.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Basically braiding my psu and found the the connectors are extremely difficult to get the pins in and out of. (have tried pins, staples, paper clips and a atx removal tool which i broke) and once I did get a couple out I couldn't get them back in.

So I decided to re crimp with new pins and connector blocks, also this way I can get rid of any excess cable for a tidy case, front side and back

I was only after a 6+2 for future use really at the moment I'm only using the 6 pins.

Just thought I'd ask around for a 6+2 if not then I was going to just use a 6 and coil up the 2 and hide it for later use if required.
