Title: anyone have some spare molex/sata power cables for an Enermax PSU?
Post by: mdude77 on May 16, 2014, 10:02:07 AM
Since I swapped mine out of my S2 with a 1300W, I thought I'd use it somewhere else.  But it only has PCIx adapters on it, and none of my other PSUs have adapters that fit the Enermax.  Someone have a spare molex and SATA power cable that works that they'd be willing to send me? :)

Thanks.

Be careful using modular cables from different power supplies!

I just used a molex cable from a Thermaltake 750 on an EVGA 1300 and it blew up 2 Hex16B miners, the surge protected USB hub, and the TP-Link I was using as the miner! The PSU didn't even power down into safety mode! :'(

Modular cables are not standardized, even if they fit in the same hole, the pins are probably wired up differently, so beware!

EU/CE need to sort this shit out! (to pass CE your product is not supposed to interfere with other products!)

Thanks for the links.  I contacted them, and they directed me to Amazon links to get cables.  They don't combine shipping on cables, so to get two SATA and two molex cables, you spend $24 on shipping.  A bit ridiculous to say the least.  They haven't given me any other options.

Anyone else out there have any bright ideas on how to get some workable SATA and molex cables for these enermax 1000 watt PSUs at a reasonable price?
