Good question indeed with a simple answer (Not being a smart ass just being silly) I have a Fully Modular PSU and don't want the Molex Connector plugged in to my PSU since I have no use for it and it adds clutter. So I just bought the extension instead.You wont damage anything, IIRC the corsair H50 has a single header for the pump and up to 2 fans, all running off of 1 motherboard connector. Worst case scenario your fans dont get enough voltage and run quieter and slower.
EDIT - Just curious, why use SATA -> 3/4 pin instead of molex? Im sure molex adapters are more common and maybe even cheaper. I know ive got a bunch of them.
