I have just bought a EVGA 1070 FTW. I have a 500W Bequiet Power supply that has only one 6+2 PCIE Power Cable but the 1070 needs two. So my question is, if I can take two 2xMolex to 6 Pin PCIE adapters and combine these to 6 Pin with a 6+6 Pin PCIE to 8 Pin PCIE adapter two plug into my graphics card as second 8 Pin PCIE Power.
 

No no.. Definitely not... That's a bad idea to use the Molex adapter to supply a GPU.
If the power supply doesn't come with two 6+2 or a 8+6 pin connectors then it's likely the PSU won't even keep up to begin with.


The reason why you shouldn't is because of amperage differences, if you try to use the Molex adapters you may be without a graphics card or worse.
