Hi all, for the life of me I cannot find the right female to female power cable to connect a Titan RTX GPU to a riser 2 card. This is for a Dell R740xd server and the cable needs to be a dual 8-pin to 8-pin cable. Basically the all female version of this https://a.co/d/4rU5KIG. Could anyone help me find it?
I found this one but one end is mini so it doesn't work for me https://www.ebay.com/itm/255037646294
Or am I confusing male with female here?

i'm pretty sure that beige connector is a female eps
which is designed for power in not out
usually

although i looks like this is correct
also you are looking for male to male yes
but yeah i'd be careful to check the pinout and everything of that beige connector

its not pcie thats for sure
prisma merlin
yeah
timid meteor
the squares and trapezoids are different compared to the gpu
why is OP trying to connect a riser card to a gpu anyway
prisma merlin
this is eps

weird dell shenanigans

we need more info and more pictures tbh

You're right. It's male to male. Tbh I'm trying to figure out what the correct cabling configuration I need to provide proper power. The GPU needs 650 W and I've got dual 1100W supplies. This is the riser card I got since I need one with x16 PCIe that was compatible https://www.ebay.com/itm/374687404258. I know the riser card provided some power but likely isn't enough. Do I need to cables? One going into the riser and another into the mobo for power? Bit lost here.

i believe you need to power the riser and the gpu
timid meteor
plug eps into the riser and pcie into the gpu
prisma merlin
that connector on the riser will be for the 75w that goes through the pcie slot
timid meteor
why are they using eps for that smh
prisma merlin
idfk it's dell
timid meteor
literally just use a 6 pin. psus have dozens
prisma merlin
they probably use hdmi for powering the cpu cooler

literally just use a 6 pin. psus have dozens
or a molex or sata power if you wanna be weird
timid meteor
sata isnt rated for 75w and molex is a pile of shit
prisma merlin
oh yeah absolutely but dell wouldn't take the sensible option sooooo
timid meteor
why not put a barrel plug on it and require a separate external power adapter at that point

not the best pics I know but my idea was to replace that riser card on the left with the one I bought since it didn't have an x16 slot. Which of those plugs on the mobo can I use for the gpu?
