I need help with my Dell T5500 Rig, I'm trying to set up 3 RX580 GPU on it, I ran into problem when trying to power up all 3 of the RX580s, I bought the "8 pin CPU to 6+2 PCI Adapter" from Amazon for the third GPU, however when I connect the third GPU, DELL T5500 does not want to power (the power LED flashes orange a few times and it powers off). Why is the CPU power not powering the GPU using the adapter?
I have no problem running 2 of the RX580s, they are power by 2 of the 6 PIN PCI Cable using 6PIN TO 8PIN adapter.
It's possible the adapter is faulty. Do you have pics of it ?
When I was buying mine I had to order from China to get the right thing.
I bought from Amazon, here is the link,

Do you have link to where you purchase the adapter cable? Thanks.
This is what I bought and it works fine for me in the T5500s.
