Anybody use a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter for a GPU?
I'm shopping around for a PSU for my new Intel Arc A380 and none of the FlexATX PSUs in my budget have an 8-pin power cable for PCIe (GPU), a few have a 6-pin power cable though and the A380 only uses 75W of power so in theory a 6-pin should be enough right? I've found some 6 to 8 pin adapters on Amazon which might solve my problem. Any issues I might be missing here?

Awesome, that gives me a lot more options. It looks like some people on reddit even used adapters from SATA to 8 pin, under full load the card appears to only use 66W so it doesn't even exceed the PCIe slot power delivery.
