Peripherals Need more molex connectors in my case

I've just fitted a couple of new peripherals and have now run out of molex connectors. I've been searching online for the last hour or so for a similar cable to the one that came with my psu. It's an inline 6pin pcie to about 3 female molex connectors. (the ones with the tubes not the pins)
Can you get these anywhere? I don't know the correct name, so maybe that/s why I can't find one.

Failing that how can I get more female connectors in my case?

TIA.

 

You mean THIS sort of thing

 

That would maybe do, but it would add more power draw onto the one cable I have.

I'd prefer to get another cable that can start in a fresh 6 pin socket on my psu.

 

What PSU do you have?

 

What make and model PSU have you got. If it's one of the more common ones additional cables are usually easy to get hold of

 

OCZ z1000m as can be seen HERE.

 

The power that thing is chucking out it would be pretty hard to overload it.

You can always email OCZ and as them about getting more molex cables

You will probably find they are pretty universal so making some is another option or getting some from another OCZ PSU

 

This looks like the cable I have. It starts off as a 6 pin plugged into the psu then has either 3 or 4 of those connectors on it.

 

What can you possibly have in your case that has used up all the molex connectors that would come with a 1000W PSU?


Without knowing the exact pinout of the connector at the PSU end, we couldn't really guarantee any non-OCZ cable. It may look just like a 6 pin PCI-E but there's a good chance the pinout config isn't the same (it's not anyway as PCI-E is only 12V where as molex has 5 and 3.3V), and might not be the same as other PSU cables that also use 6 pin plugs to connect to the PSU.

 

Thats the molex connection. All are universal. Its the PSU end that matters

 

It didn't come with that many, but........ PCIE usb3 card. Sata to sata slim adapter, something on my new usb3 card reader and maybe something else I've forgotten.

 

I know that's the molex connector. I was just trying to show the style of cable, even though it only shows a little bit of it. It's a modular 6 pin connector on the other end.

 

Ah so was it a 2nd hand PSU that only came with one molex cable?

Also, won't a SATA to SATA slim adapter use a SATA power connector not a molex?

Those first ones that bulldogjeff would be fine, you're not going to be drawing massive power from various misc expansion cards like that so all on one cable would be fine.

*EDIT*
Corsair cables won't work, the pin shapes are different, so that's one that can be scratched off.
Neither will Seasonic, EVGA, Silverstone, Antec or BeQuiet.

 

No, it was brand new, It only came with the one cable with about 3 or 4 molex on it, but lots of other cables that don't have molex on them.

The sata slim adapter used a molex for whatever reason.

And OK on the third. (but I'd still prefer another cable if possible)

 

That newegg link says it comes with 3 peripheral cables.


Quick ebay brings up these, in America, but only ones I can find.


Molex and FDD cable

SATA cable possibly use this with some SATA to molex adapters?

 

Why not just buy some molex connectors and swap the with the spare sata ones or get some sata to molex adapters and do it that way

 

THESE

 

Close but not quite, standard molex is 5v and 12v (and 7v if you get creative).

 

Ah damn, I knew that, honestly, , for some reason saw 3.3V mentioned somewhere on the net while googling and fingers took over,

 

Likely looking at the ATX or AUX connectors that plug into the motherboard.
