Hello everyone, I'm doing some box cleaning and I found a bunch of cables which I'll ask for your help for identification, if you don't mind 🙃

So, as the title says, how do you call this cable?


Thank you!

Nah it's fine. Even if he plugs in only one of the 6 pins it's more than capable of the 150w the 8 pin output is rated for. You'd need a really old and shitty PSU for it to actually use different gauge wires for the 6 Vs 8 pin, since the only difference is 2 extra ground wires (and a higher power rating).
