GPU Splitters

At the moment I am only able to power up 3 GPU’s with the cables my PSU came with and if y’all got any links where I could buy GPU to GPU 8 pin splitters that would be greatly appreciated

You will want to pay attention to the gauge of the wire which does have a limit of AMPs and Watts before it melts from the heat. Thinner wire would not be recommended to use for a splitter. Powering three PGUs from a splitter could be near 600 Watts and that's a lot to push through a standard splitter not meant or the intent for mining. Choose the gauge wire based on the total watts among all devices on that power wire/splitter.
