[Need help] PCI-E 16x16 extension

[Zahavi]

Hey there

I have a question I hope you can answer for me – I want to make a project with a PC in a table (sounds crazy, I know it) and apparently, and no other and I mean NO other can help me with this…. So I want to hear your opinion :-).

I have a MSI 770 (OC TF) GPU and I need to get it extended. The GPU is running on Crosshair V Formula -it has a molex plug on it. I just don’t know if it will fry my board :s…

Should I get an extender with a molex connector or would I be fine without one? And do I even need to plug the molex onto the MB? And is the extendors bound to a PCI version (2.0 and 3.0)? – Hope you guys can help me out!
