PSU: Sata->molex adaptor?

zenotal · 18-October-07, 08:34 AM

Hello,

I've a new PSU, which has molex and SATA cables. Not using the majority of my SATA power cables yet, and have fans and other things I'd like to power w/ regular 4-pin molex.

Is there such a thing as a power SATA - to - 4 pin molex adaptor?

I have seen many molex->SATA adaptors, to power new SATA HDs etc w/ old PSUs, but not the other way around.

Any tips/links would be appreciated!

This should do the trick

The SATA II to 4-pin Power Adapter converts any standard SATA II power cable into a 4-pin power supply cable. This is a great backup tool to have on hand in case you have run out of 4-pin connectors but have extra unused SATA power cables. They work just as easily as either a temporary or a permanent solution

SATA II to 4-pin Power Adapter - Black - FrozenCPU.com

Frozen CPU has all kinds of "Odd" stuff like this (Plus kick ass stuff too) things that one might think you'd never need.

I often just browse around the site in every nook and cranny just in case I see something unique like this, you should poke around there one day when you have some spare time!

Yup, this perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. $4 a piece seems rather steep, but what's a guy to do? I just ordered 4

.

Thanks for link!
