Hi guys,

Somehow I've managed to melt a connector and a connection socket on one of my Corsair AX860 PCI-e cables, a similar case to these guys - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=25554542 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344866.0. I know now that it was caused by excessive current over that connector etc. So now I'd like to use this PSU with my old 5870s instead.

My problem is that I couldn't find a PCI-e replacement cable for AX860 - none found after two days of active searching. What could I use to replace it? Could those "two-Molex to PCI-e" adapters be used with AX860? It seems so proprietary and they're using their own pinouts everywhere etc, so I'm afraid even to try without knowing 100% that I'm not going to fry my GPU.

Cheers
