will these cables fit 7970?

dwighet

Hi Lads.
Im wanting to get some red cables for my 2x 7970`s and just need some conformation from ye that I have my eye on the right ones.

These are the 6 pin im looking at.
Im sure there fine

These are the 4 pin. These ones Im not too sure about.

What do ye think?

The 4 pin cable is an extension cable for the 12V connection to a motherboard, not what you want

No such thing as a PCIe 4 pin, You're looking for a 6+2 pin.

Eboggles is right your looking for a 6+2 pin cable.

Give a look here dwightlet, you will need a 6-pin and an 8-pin (6+2) PCI-e video card extension cable for each 7970.

Nah, its confusing as fcuk. I saw cables advertised as 6 pin, but they had the additional 2 pins required for 6+2/8 pin cards attached to the cable loom as well...

Lets just say the majoroty of the ad was in 中国的
