I know I should buy a new psu. I did. But gave me so many troubles, I have decided to stick with my 7 years old psu. I have a Z170 board, i5 6500 and a GTX 1050ti. I am not having any problems at all. I use it a s htpc. Sometimes my daughter plays 3 or 4 years old games.
But I sometimes think that I might be putting too much load on 20 pin ATX connector of my psu. I wanted to know if I can add a 4 pin connector to it and power it with a molex connector. 4 pin molex connectors lack a 3 volt wire. It has a 12v, 5v and 2 ground. Can I skip the 3v wire and just connect 3 wires to it and leave the orange (3v) and second ground.
