Can't Find a 6-Pin to 4-Pin cable

TheGreatSatan · 23-October-08, 10:58 AM

I need a 6-Pin to 4-Pin internal power cable. 4-Pin to 6-Pin power cables are rampant (as shown below), but the opposite is hard to track down. Anyone see any?

Looks like I'll probably have to make them instead. Does anyone know where I can get those kits to put my own molex's together?

Product Details:

*** NEW Custom made Male 6-pin PCI Express to 4-pin Female Molex adapter cable from Performance-PCs.com ***
This adapter can be used to convert any 6-pin power supply PCI Express cable to a standard 4-Pin Molex cable. Keep in mind that PCI Express only has a +12V voltage and so this cable can ONLY be used for things like fans and case lighting where no 5V source is needed. Do not use this adapter for hard drives, optical drives and other computer hardware that requires both 5 and 12V voltages. Finally, a way to used those unused PCI Express cables when you are not yet doing SLI or running dual PCI express video cards like the Nvidia 8800 series. Cable is about 8 inches long.

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

hope that works

It was one of the PSU's I prematurely butchered for Project Framed. The only extra cable I had was the 6 pin one.

Edit: Wow, $16 each. How about making my own? I may try that first.
