PSU: http://content.hwigroup.net/images/products/xl/181044/2/antec_hcg850m_high_current_gamer_850w.jpg
Power Source for Entire Case (external HDD port included): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Molex_female_connector.jpg

How to power it...? Is there some kind of converter? Without it, my Asus gtx770 OC and i7-4770k w/ Noctua nh-d14 will have to cool themselves down without any case support, and preferrably, I'd like the support. Plus an excuse to open it up and use one of the HDD's for my laptop.

PS: Molex connector might be male... don't remember tbh.

That 5 pin connection is specific to the PSU. Did the modular cables that came with the PSU not have any more molex connectors? Or if you've used up all the available molex connectors and you need more modular cables you have to contact Antec.

If you have SATA power connectors left over you can use a SATA to molex adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812816038

Or if you're desperate, something like this may work: http://www.moddiy.com/products/modDIY-5%252dPin-to-ATA-4%252dPin-Modular-Power-Supply-Unit-Cable-%2835cm%29.html?gclid=CjkKEQjw8YSdBRChhPXJvPvMztABEiQAkn893t0WHlU268HxbDk0X8lt5T27wG33IKPtwSrCoB1lYNXw_wcB

I did not buy any cables, and if the molex connector does not plug into the CPU, then it plugs into the mobo? The mobo lists 1 molex connection spot but I figured it false as I've searched the entire board (with all the components attached, I might add) and could not find it. [ASRock Z87 Extreme4]


I have many more additional 5pin molex connectors left.


I can't see what SATA connectors have to do with anything, I'm not asking about SATA.


Now that I recall... I believe my 4pin molex was indeed male, so this option looks perfect, thanks!
