I can't be the only one that has trouble connecting molex connectors...

[Jedicake]

They're annoying, why do their pins gotta move so much

[FloRolf]

i hate them SO much! >.<

things i hate about as the same as Molex connectors:

Installing push pull radiators

routing sleeved cables

Cleaning the pc from dust (of which i have a lot)

[TheProfosist]

Cause that's a molex connector the design is ancient. We really should have moved away from them but what are you go on a do right?

[Hazy125]

It's not usually recommended, but sometimes you just gotta jam it in

Ikr... I'm always centering them with my nail so they fit together... 

[Guest]

The pins get bent out of place way too easily, making it really difficult to plug it in.

[Langdon]

I hate them too. They're so annoying and sometimes they're difficult to separate as well.

I wish all molex connections would die in a fire already.

[Jeroen1322]

Taking those things appart is the worst..

[helping]

I keep a two pairs of pliers in my room for when I'm ready to disconnect some molex connectors. 

 

I have a large vice/piping pliers thingy for connecting them as well. 

 

perfect hands for life.

Some manufactures still use orginal "molex build" adapers, they are not too bad. But most of the time you get shitty cheap implementations that don't really work. The ones on the old H100 were really bad for example.

We have. What do you think SATA power is? Molex is still there for compatibility with older devices.

[nj4ck]

Had to connect like 6 of them yesterday. It took me at least half an hour and I don't think I've ever used as many curse words in a row before.

[ForsakenLive]

they hurt my fingers

[Seldszar]

Seriously its the worst thing in my computer. I hate molex connectors.

[tS_kStin]

They are probably the most annoying connector, second would be USB when you can try to plug it in 20 different times and it will not go in even though it should be the most simple thing to do.

I agree the one on the h100 was a POS

Its flimsy and was designed for drives, nothing else, which is why molex is still around. Hell floppy power is still around.

[Tech_Dreamer]

Yeah! tell me about it, this one time i plugged in a molex connector upside down of the hdd & the hdd PCB got fried. in my defence i wasn't looking at it while i was connecting it...

SATA power is not flimsy at all, and it is the replacement of Molex. Most things other than drives are made with Molex connectors because not everyone has  PSU with SATA. A lot of people still use really old PCs. And in case you haven't noticed, the H110i now uses SATA power instead of Molex.

Question about your PC, why do you use an H100 if your processor is running at stock?

[Robi_g]

They never unplug without loads of pulling either

Cause F@H. Its already at 70°C on folding load and i dont want it to be much higher since i'm folding 24/7.

It runs at 70C with an h100? Ouch. It'd be cool if they allowed folding with GPU chips, they could make a lot more progress.

Yeah, summer is coming and shit ^^

you can fold with gpus and i actually do. Gives me 15x the ppd of my cpu. (gtx780 vs. 2600k)

Nice. My CPU is only an A10-6790k It's not the best but it does the job. I didn't get much choice in terms of high end CPUs within my price range in MITX form factor mobos. I wanted to get an FX-6300 but there are no AM3+ MITX motherboards.

If you want mitx high performance you have to go intel, there is no way around that ^^
