Do they have PCI-E connector extensions?

[DARQ MX]

I can't find any does anyone know if they make them?

Also I already have NO more molex connectors left cause my cards taking up my last too...

Thanks

Something like this or just something to extend the 6-pin connector?

Can't use use the 2 Molex-to-6 pin cable like CalvinHobbes linked to, then if you need another Molex in the future, use a Y splitter to split one of your other Molex connectors?

If you read my post, I said I am using that right now, but I have NO more molex left after that. I would like to add things in the future like an extra fan or fan controller but I can't do that, if my cards taking up my last too...

And splitting and splitting in that future is bad to do to the psu too much.

Sorry I thought you were saying you only had one molex left. Now I see you have used your last one.

It won't hurt to use a Y splitter to gain an extra molex, even two. Just don't keep splitting them off the same original lead to the PSU.

You won't want to take a molex, use a splitter on it, use a splitter on each of those two and then run four HDDs that all go back to one lead to the PSU.

But if you put a splitter on a molex that you use for a HDD, and use the other lead for a fan, that won't hurt anything. In the big picture the fan uses very little power. Split them so you have a light-demand device shared on the splitter with a heavy-demand device.

I would have no hesitation using three splitters if I was using fans on the extra leg of each one.

but you also got to remember, how much room you have and lenth wise. Size my 2 molex to pci-e takes too it brings those down ward. There would be no way to take spiltters off those and bring them upwards to other devices such as a 5.25 bay.

What PSU do yo have actually? Normally there should be enough Molexes for everything...

Aren't there other molex connectors you can attach splitters to? Don't forget you can attach two splitters end-to-end if you need extra length. Again, just be careful that you don't have too many power-hungry devices which all end up attached to one lead from the PSU.

That's a good question - how many molex connectors does your PSU have? I've had to use splitters in the past because I crammed a lot of stuff in a full-tower case. Not only did I need the extra connectors, I needed the extra length that the splitters provided.
