Hi guys

My dad gave me some old pc stuff he didn't need anymore and asked me if I need something.
Most of it is ancient, useless things (like IDE cables or a PCI soundcard)


But there are two cables I don't even know what they are. Can you guys help me?
The big plugs are Molex, but I don't know the small ends. The left looks like a fan plug.

There were also a few jumpers. Are these still useful for something?

 

I'm pretty sure it's all garbage, but it would be interesting what I am throwing away :)

the big plug on the left is molex too, just a very weird one

It shouldn't be molex, 4 pins fans have RPM and PWM wire and 12v + ground, while molex is 12v, 5v and 2 grounds. From the picture, it fits the fan color scheme, not molex.

yeah, that's weird, it's a molex connector, but the color scheme doesn't match. I would throw it away too, just to make sure to avoid using it on something that the connector fits, but won't be compatible with the voltages supplied, like a PMW fan.

I don't think it's floppy power - it isn't the right shape.

Floppy power cables have a little plastic fin and it curves down over the sides - not directly below.

Look it up and you will see.

PLEASE STOP [Killing] ME I WILL GIVE Y OU ANOTHER DEAL.
