i wanna buy a gtx950 that has an 8 pin and i have rn a 6-pin which has 1 molex. I couldn t find an 1 molex - 8pin connector. does it exist? is it cheap? and if it doesn t exist, is the 1molex to 2 molex good for supplying a card that has 8 pin? (i may have bad english rn)
 
Solution
No, a single molex to two molex is NOT good for supplying an 8 pin PCIe power. The two molex adapter is to provide two independent power feed from the power supply. You will probably melt or burn something if you rig up this set of adapters. When you buy your new card, you need to buy a new power supply also.
