PCI-E Female to Female Connector??
Recently sent in a faulty EVGA SR2 motherboard to be exchanged under warranty. New make requires more power than the original board via 2 6-pin (2x3) PCI-E. This has left me short 2 6-pin female to female cables with which to power the second of my nvidia GTX 570 graphics cards. I can't find a 6-pin female to female PCI-E power cable for the life of me. I believe the two I have came with the power supply. I am working with a Corsair HX1000W power supply. The back of the supply has 4 blue 8-pin (2x4) male ports, and 6 black 6-pin (2x3) male ports. All 4 of the blue 8-pin ports are all taken, as are 2 of the 6 black 6-pin ports.
Is it okay to splice together a 6-pin female to female cable from a couple 6-pin extensions? I'm in a time bind for a large public event this Saturday :\
