I like to make my own cables to connect Zotac 1080ti (2x 8pin PCI) to EVGA Supernova P2 1200 8pin plugs / 6pin plugs.

Can somebody recommend a website where I can buy the plugs and crimps for it? The tool, a welding station, cable and experience is here.

Since I am running out of cables I bought some splitter on the net and half coupled wrong and the other half got fecking hot after 2 minutes... so I decided to do make my own.

keep on mining

The best(imo) crimping tool - https://www.cable-sleeving.com/crimping-tool
The tool has multiple revisions, CTX3 crimps 16AWG perfectly.

https://www.cable-sleeving.com/16awg-crimp-terminal-atx-female-mini-fit-jr - better than I buy on ebay. Very expensive tho.
Better - they actually crimp 16AWG wire, cause legs are longer. I used to buy crimps on ebay, but I can't find the ones, which crimp 16AWG perfectly. Used to buy this - https://www.ebay.com/itm/500x-Female-5557-ATX-PCI-E-EPS-Half-Gold-Plated-Crimp-teminal-Long-Leg-Pin-Pins-/162593069229?hash=item25db4d58ad

Shells I buy on ebay, the cheapest ones.
When I say 16AWG I actually mean 1.5mm^2, which is about 15AWG.

I think OEM part is https://www.google.com/search?q=PWC22A&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b
