    Dunno of any but why don't you just get rid of the connector all together?

    the connector is on my video card. The AGP slot doesnt supply enough juice apparently.

    It would be a pain when you switch cards but you could always just strip the wire and sodder it onto the connecter.

    I was thinking that but i'd prefer something less messy. I've got a spare connector i can butcher. I'll have a closer look tonight, i'm sure theres something i can do with it.
    Cheers.

    Or solder wires to it (with heatshrink etc so its tidy) and put a molex connector on the end of the wires.... that way you just plug the wires in as normal.
