is it safe to split a molex?

[bwells794]

more specifically, i seem to only have 1 tail of molex connectors coming off my psu which provides me with 3 female molex plugs. I have installed a water cooling pump and 6 channel fan speed connector. that puts my total need at 5 female molex connections (1 for case, 1 for pump, 3 for 6 channel fan controller(45w/channel=270w=3 molex... or so says the instructions)). I cant seem to find another 8 pin psu to FEMALE molex (one with holes for pins, not one with pins) online and im not even sure my psu came with more than one string of them. if it did, i didnt use it initially and now its lost. so does anyone know where i can get another cable, or are splitters safe and enough power to do what i need to do with my setup? (1 to pump, one to case, 3 to fan controller)

edit: or if possible, i can even do female 8/6pin from psu to to female molex if that exists as well.

molex should be banned. what a terrible connector. Does anyone else like it when the pins move around while you're trying to connect it?
Curse any equipment that still uses molex.

Theres loads of connectors you can get. look on ebay or cable sites.

lol i completely agree. i had a nightmarish time trying to get them connected to the 3 i had. ugh. but yeah, ive looked and so far all i can find is a splitter. 1 male to 2 female, which would work, provided it will not cut the power drastically between the 2 female ends which is what im asking.

Keep looking and youll find. Theres dozens & dozens of types.
about 10 months ago i threw away decades worth of molex cables, splitters and apdaters. it was quite a large pile.
none in my system nor shall there ever be again.

no, i get it, i found the splitter. my question was whether or not it's going to drastically cut the power once it goes 2 ways...

 

[fredfinks]

no, youll be right
