Molex Splitter

Hey, guys, I have a modular power supply, although, I don't have all the cables it came with and I have only 2 cables connected to the PSU, the CPU cable, the Motherboard cable and a 2x SATA and 2x Molex cable. I wanted to install an LED strip but I have no more Molex connectors as the two I have are connected to a 2x Molex to 6-pin PCI-e adapter, so I was wondering if I could split one of the Molex connectors in two, giving me 3 Molex connectors in total and then connect the 2x Molex to 6-pin PCI-e adapter and the LED strip. I sent an email to the manufacturer to see if they could provide me with extra modular cables about a week ago, and no answer. The manufacturer is Super Flower and this PSU uses proprietary modular cables, so...

 

Many thanks, Bruno.

 

Here's a picture of the current setup and a picture of what I want to do:

sure, splice in another one or get a splitter. i run a spliter in my build to power the LEDs

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Wouldn't that setup be drawing too much power from the same modular cable?

Yes, you can install a good amount connectors for one socket.

 

If the LED's are you basic 12V. You can wire the LED's directly into the PCie socket if you wanted to.

Current Build: Project Frost
Gaming Rig Build: Project Ice Dragon
