February 11, 20206 yr This might be a dumb question, I'm not sure. Couldn't find any good answers to this question googling it. I have a power supply with 2 8pin connections on it labeled VGA. And I know that the manufacturers intention was that these ports would provide power to graphics cards. But since I don't intend on having a graphics card in this system, with the right adapters can I use these ports to power drives? I've seen online what looks like an adapter to convert this 8 pin to molex, but I think it's for the opposite of what I want to do. I think they are intended to power a video card using 2 molex connections. Anyway, any info is greatly appreciated.

The 8 pin doesn't have 5V on it, so you can't directly convert it to a molex. Myself back in the day, I spliced the 12V lines from that connector into a molex (and used the 5V directly from the PS)
