Safe 4+4 converter?

[chx]

With high wattage CPUs on the market, desktop motherboards with 4+8 pin or even 8+8 pins are becoming more common but most PSUs only have one. On the other hand , SLI and especially triple and quad SLI are definitely dying out but the PSUs have a bazillion PCIe connectors. Is there a connector which doesn't split 12V lines and uses either two PCIe connectors or a PCIe and a Molex to create a second EPS?

a better psu with 2 8 pins is probably the best idea.

Otherwise, yeah. Look for a better PSU with more connectors.

"converts a 6PIN PCIE connector into either a P4-12V or 8PIN EPS connector. " -- so that's not what I was after, see the opening post...

did you buy a new power supply yet?

Old thread but... There's not a single modern CPU out there that needs more than a single 8 pin unless you're LN2 overclocking.
