Question will a 6 pin part of a PCIE power cable for for a 6 pin ATX CPU power plug ?

google says no, but I have a friend that says he is using it, no issues.

No.

No.

No what ??

No what ??

You asked if a 6 pin part of a PCIe cable would work for a 6 pin ATX CPU power plug, didn't you? Or did I misunderstand the nearly incoherent question?

Edit: though it would make more sense for Gigabyte to have used the PCIe plug, which I've seen used for many different things on different motherboards. In which case the answer would be "yes" if I correctly guessed the true intent of your original question.

Gigabyte answer from their technical department. Yes the PCIE plug is designed to be used.

Then I'm glad I inserted that edit when I did.

No, a PCIe 6-pin is not wired the same as an EPS/ATX 6-pin CPU connector.
The pinout and voltage distribution differ

No, a PCIe 6-pin is not wired the same as an EPS/ATX 6-pin CPU connector.
The pinout and voltage distribution differ PCIe is 12V + grounds, while CPU/EPS has a different wiring scheme.
It might fit physically, but it’s risky and can damage the motherboard or CPU VRMs. You should use the proper EPS/CPU power cable from your PSU.
If your PSU doesn’t have one, consider an adapter specifically designed for EPS not PCIe, or better, a PSU with native EPS support.
