Power by Molex x 2 or PCI-E power connector?

[rusty]

just got rid of my old agp rig and built a pci-e machine. does it matter if you use the pci-e to 2xmolex connector for power or can i just plug in the pci-e power connector from the psu. i assume it doesnt matter, am i right???

I recommend using the pci-e power connection (assuming your power supply has the connector). After all, thats specifically what it is designed for.

That way you can save those molex connections for other things, like addition fans.

I'm a firm believer in never having too many case fans, my case sounds like a harrier taking off

My case is barely above ambient, and it pisses the hell out of me .


Use the PCIe connection from the PSU .

u can use 2 molex connectors but its just best to use the pcie connectors instead
