I know what I'm about to ask is a very noobish question, especially since I've built custom PCs and am very familiar with the software aspects of computers, but I need to know the name of this type of cable so I can purchase another.

I have a Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 psu and I need a cable with the "A" connector into the psu and two or more "B" connectors on the other end to connect to my gpu. Basically I need a cord with two or more 4-pin molex connectors, but I need the end that plugs into the psu to be like the "A" in the picture.

I just don't know what that "A" end is called and I need to search up one to buy (searching for 4-pin molex connector just gives me sata cables which I don't need)

I guess I could make do with molex splitters but what I meant was I need a cord with the two ends I have circled in the picture. One end needs to be molex, but the other end that plugs directly into the psu is the one I can't find the name of

That "A" must be the other end of the cable, a 5-pin cable which is directly connected to modular psu:

Its only extension there so I thought you may just need splitter at the other instead.


Thank you! I couldn't for the life of me find the name of the 5 pin connector. My psu has three 6 pin PCI-E slots that I can use if I want. I read that video cards need the two molex connectors so the psu doesn't get overloaded. Would plugging 6 pin connectors directly from the cards to the psu slots be a bad idea?

Your psu must have one PCI-E 6+2 Pin and two 6-pin if I am not mistaken.. If you can tell us about your graphic card, we could help you better. :)

Sorry about that lol my power supply is the 850 watt model and the video cards I'm setting up in Xfire are two Sapphire R9 270x 2GB cards.

Fine. Now let's get back to your question:
"Would plugging 6 pin connectors directly from the cards to the psu slots be a bad idea?"
- No it's not a bad idea. Even a single PCIe cable 6-pin with its short loop both can connect to your first graphic card that requires 2 x 6-pin. Then the other 6-pin again with short loop can go to another card.. The third 6-pin will be spare. :)

Thanks again! It's great to have websites where people actually know enough to help with your pc problems. Google searching doesn't quite cut it when you're unsure what you're looking for lol
