Hey,
Had a good question so thought id share it. Save yourself loads by adding a power molex to your extenders as to not blow your motherboards with more than 4 cards in it...

Pic shows it better. Each PCI-E sucks 75W so after 4, drawing over 300W from a mainboard (unless a high quality mobo) isnt a wise idea. I blew a crappy gigabyte (which i say avoid the new ones, ive had 3 failures of AMD gigabyte boards).
By doing this you draw it from your PSU instead and skip the motherboard
