Can I use dual Molex to connect my GPU?

[frncix]

I lost my 6pin PCIE cable and I bought a new GPU (GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X 4G) is it okay if I use a dual molex like this? http://ph-live-02.slatic.net/p/2/dual-molex-lp4-4-pin-to-6-pin-pci-e-express-converter-adapter-power-cable-1030-3098951-1-webp-zoom.jpg

It's never a good idea to use adapters.

But I can't find any replacement for a pcie cable.

I'm planning to use it for a while and if I have the budget I'll just get a new psu.

You should be fine. That gpu doesn't use much juice anyway. You could just get a replacement cable... which would be ideal.

That's up to you , but I wouldn't , that's a shame you lost the cables it's a great PSU. I would contact SEASONIC for a replacement cable.

Thanks for the reply guys, I found this https://www.moddiy.com/products/Seasonic-M12-Modular-PSU-Sleeved-PCIe-6%252dPin-to-6%252dPin-Cable.html
And just get the molex temporarily... but I don't trust site like this or it takes too long to send items.

Hey,

Using a MOLEX adapter (2xMOLEX-> 6-pin PCIe) with that PSU is absolutely NOT A PROBLEM.

It is drawing power from the same 12-volt source inside the PSU as the 6-pin PCIe.

If you are concerned and buying another cable for fear of potential issues then don't be.

While it's true that SOMETIMES adapters are a bad idea (if PSU is too weak) it's absolutely NOT true in your case.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll just go for the molex and update this if anything happens.
