stop spamming the forum
I assume that your psu is powerful enough to power your system.
while it is never recommended to use those molex adapters to connect a gpu it depends on what gpu you are trying to Power up it should be fine for a low power one
But generally it is safer to connect them on different cables
yh ok thanks for the help Im just very eager to test out my gpu but I have to wait then till sat im not gonna take the risk of anything buring down or something
 
Which PSU do you actually have ? List the exact Model number/brand. Are you trying to power up the motherboard, or some other component, like the GPU ? MOLEX cables are usually not recommended, though first you need to list your requirements, and provide more details.
