I have a few fans that run on molex for power due to the high amps 4.6 each/55watts and have other devices like a front bay and pumps with molex the evga 1600p2 only has 5 molex, since I will be doing a dual GPU setup and most they could require is 2 8 pins how can I turn the other GPU 8/6 pin leads to more molex leads? Could I wire 3 molex connections off a single 8 pin lead. since there is 3 12v and 3 grounds? I have the tools to make the cables just want to know if it would be safe to do so.

Yes you'll be fine doing that, you can even get cables pre made. If your looking for the connectors look for pc connectors on eBay.

Mind linking if possible?

For the 4 pin connectors. Had a quick look for 8 pin plugs but couldn't find any. maybe an extension cable and cut it.

Okay yea I have all that I just need the 6 pin connector and then female end and terminals, thanks though I figured that would be the solution since it come with a billion 8 pin leads.
