October 8, 201510 yr Hi I need a PSU that's got at least 6 molex plugs on it can anyone recomend a PSU doesent need to be more than 500w needs molex Or can you convert sata power cables to molex power with a simple cable or something Can you recomend a PSU or Convertor cables please
October 8, 201510 yr quick search and found this http://www.amazon.com/Aleratec-Molex-Adapter-Inches-6-Pack/dp/B006P61KH0
October 8, 201510 yr Author So I would be better off with a standard PSU with many sata ports and just use these adaptor so to convert the sata power into molex power Is there any difference in power and reliability as sata sends an extra 3v than molex and there are special clips do any of you use these adaptor so for your builds ?
October 8, 201510 yr If you are needing a new PSU, i would get a modular one like this http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cx-series-cx600m-modular-atx-power-supply-600-watt-80-plus-bronze-certified-modular-psu then just get extra Molex cables for it

I can only speak from personal experience, but I have a 750w PSU using a bunch of sata to molex adapters and haven't had an issue in the 4-5 years that it has been running...
October 9, 201510 yr Agreed. Modular will definitely give you a cleaner build. Just saying that the adapter cables do work. Especially if you already have a PSU.
October 14, 201510 yr I agree with reza59, just be careful about accidentally crossing +5vDC & +12vDC on these fancy all-black cables every PSU seems to ship with nowadays! I am speaking from experience on this one!
