[SOLVED] Is 4pin to 6 pin molex safe for my psu?

[Oversizedmoose]

Okay so I just recently bought a new gpu the GTX 1050ti and me not being much of a knowledgeable person in terms of gaming PC's I didn't realise that my psi didn't come with a 6pcie cable and I was wondering if it would be safe to use a 4pin to 6pin molex for my x-tec classic power cp-550 watt psu I have read that they can catch fire which I why I'm afraid yet I do not have the money to buy a new psu since I'm 16

No, dont. never ever.

Don't use a 4 to 6 adapter, and don't use molex to 6 pin adapters.. I've personally done both over the years and every time ended up with melted wires and occasionally smoke inside my case.

I would never recommend it, ever. Invest in a PSU if the graphics card requires it.

Some GTX 1050ti's don't require a power connector and run directly off the power from the PCIE slot so you may luck out.

If the PSU sucks so bad it doesnt come with a pci-e cable, then its a crap PSU.

It might work just fine as the 1050 ti draws so little power, but its a risk.
