I'm after a pci-e to molex adaptor but I can't seem to see them for sale anywhere or if they even exist at all.

I found plenty going the other way, molex to pci-e as the picure below but i need the other way round.

    Nope sorry, thats the same as what I posted.

    I'll try & explain a little better, I need an adaptor that connects to a pci-e plug on a psu & has a molex connector on the other end that I plug into my video card.

    pci-e is a type of slot not a connector like you pictured? Thats the connector used on most eatx motherboards like my dual opteron. Or other boards needing extra power for the cpu's usually but normaly seen on the new dualy motherboards.

    But you want the female end not the male end on the thing with 6 connectors right?

    What is this going on anyway?

    If you need molexes to the videocards, why not use the ones from the psu directly? It's the same thing. The yellow and the black is still there.

    It's ok thanx folks I don't need it now. :)

    It was for my gaming rig, I've just bought an OCZ 600w Powerstream psu, (which so far seems loverly Mack ;)). I wanted to run dedicated power lines to both my agp card & the tec on the graphics card, I mistakenly thought there was only one dedicated power line and therefore wanted utalise the pci-e line for the graphics card, hence the need for an adaptor. But thankfully there are two :) So one goes to the card, the other to the pelt.

    Only trouble is, I've got far too much heat going into the cooling loop now & temps according the board sensors are 55c full load, but not overclocked. :( Time for a bigger rad me thinks.
