PCI 6 pin to MOLEX

Sorry i didn't really know where to post this, but i thought someone might know.

If any of you have heard me whining on this before you will no my stupid dell PSU has zero molex connections and i cannot change the PSU with out voiding the warrenty. So i have been looking into other ways around it. And it came to me 'i have a spare 6pin pci power cable, can i convert it to molex?' There seems to be a **** load of cables/adaptors doing it the other way around but i have only been able to find one cable that does it the way i want, but its a random website in the US, and it would cost me nearly £15 to get it over here... too much for one cable.

So my question is, does anyone know where i can buy one of these:

PCI Express to Molex Adapter Cable - Sleeved Products Model: PCIE2MOLEX [PCIE2MOLEX] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come

In the uk?

Thanks a lot for reading:D

Hi GingerFox,

Hmmm... By opening the case, you will have already voided the warranty. In addition, the PCIe connection only utilises the +12V and ground lines (in effect, they supply the GPU with power in much the same way as the separate +12V plug supplies the CPU on the motherboard). Unfortunately, the Molex connector requires a +5V connector, and this is not available in the PCIe connector.

Nar it does not void the warrenty opening the case, only chaging the PSU CPU or MOBO anything else is fine. Also i know about the 12v issue thats why if i get an adaptor i would use it only for fans, which im told would work.

Hi GingerFox,

How is your case fan powered? Where does it plug in, and what connector does it use?

edit...............im a muppet and i should read posts properly

It pluggs into the motherboard, 3 pin i beleive.

oooooops ignore my posts ive got it all the wrong way round

lols its ok, thanks anyway

Hi GingerFox, it is too much for the connector from that place just to add a fan. I suggest you to built one yourself by studying the pinout schematics of the connectors below. Even better, I would just find the necessary wires need to be connected and hotwire them.

Hope this helps,
