All good points. Like you said though the only downside is one of my peripheral cables will be powering 2 rows of drives (8 disks) thats 26amps on a single cable...

@Vr2Io - Do you think you could use the SATA1-4 PCI-e 6 pin slots for 4 x 4 molex cables?

99% ok, if you can plugin. Or simple say SATA or Molex cable could freely plugin to SATA or PERIF socket.

 

If you don't know how to make SATA to Molex, you have other solution

 

1. Contact EVGA got more molex cable.

2. Order molex cable from 3rd party cable maker.

3. Found SATA to molex adapter ( not recommend )

Bought an EVGA SuperNova 1300w G2 in the end.

 

Yup this is what i was already thinking. Annoyingly for some brands these 6pin pci-e > molex/sata's arnt even compatible between their own PSU models! I suppose i was kinda of asking for anyone that may know whether EVGA had standardized the use of their own 6pin pcie across 'most' of their PSU models. I've since checked and there one of the better brands for it. I wanted to buy from EVGA but unfortunately they have none for sale on the site! AND they have limited them to like 2 per household and i need 4!!! lol. 

 

I could make them, but tbh, it's easier and safer to buy prebuilt because this whole thread started due to my instability issues in the first place. I want a good test bed with a PSU with prebuilt cables so if it dosnt sort my issues, i can safely say: "At least it's not the PSU!" 

 

However, i do still have the dilemma of wanting to buy official EVGA molex cables and no where to really find them... other than a random guy on ebay who could simply be selling £4 chinese ones off as EVGA compatible... Sigh.
