Hey guys,
title kinda says it all already. I just didn't pay close enough attention when buying an LED-Strip. I simply assumed my PSU would have a slot for it, however it doesn't. Is there a way to plug it in somewhere else? Sadly I cant use the sata-slots on the MB since two are occupied by my drives and the other two are blocked by my gpu.
Thanks in advance :=)

greetings

So, you bought LED strip that uses molex connector for power, right?

Without any molex connections on PSU (which is very strange), you can use SATA to molex adapter,

Btw, those SATA ports that are on the MoBo are for data transfer and those don't provide any power. For power, you'll need to connect it to the SATA connector coming out from PSU.

You can also use PCI-E to molex adapter if you like,
