The cable I have is a PCIe 8 Pin Splitter.

I really don't understand this picture because it is showing two male ends.

So this would be okay? Then one end of the splitter could be used for the GPU and the other end could be used with a barrel plug to power the Akitio. http://i67.tinypic.com/11r87dt.jpg[/IMG]

Can these cable hook up to a Dell power supply without modifications? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Female-ATX-12V-8-Pin-to-Two-6-2-Pin-PCI-E-Y-Splitter-Adapter-Version-3-/331506354913?hash=item4d2f518ae1:g:s0sAAOSweW5VB6LV http://www.ebay.com/itm/Twin-Frozr-Female-ATX-12V-8-Pin-to-Two-6-Pin-PCI-E-Power-Cable-/231836468895?hash=item35fa87c69f:g:5oIAAOSwG-1WvJEK

The question is can i connect the female end of the splitter to the Dell DA-2 and then connect one of the splitting ends to a 8 pin gpu.

Im a little confused from the picture because it shows two male ends? I don't see where i would beadle to make any connections. Sorry i don't know much about this.

I bought this splitter http://www.amazon.com/PCI-Express-Video-Y-Splitter-Adapter-Supply/dp/B00A3OVG4W?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 but the shapes on the end don't match up with the dell power supply. I have to kinda force it in but it fits. Does this splitter work with the dell power supply or will it mess things up?

When you use a PCIE riser with power(ex molex) is that the same as powering the Akitio with a barrel plug and no riser?

Alright thanks!
