Where to buy PCI-E plugs.
- Thread starter JN
- Start date
Akasa produces 8pin mobo extensions, don't know if they are identical? I think they both have the same plugs.
A dutch webshop sells them for €4 but getting them to send it to the UK in an envelope isn't easy I guess.

Yeah I was gonna suggest Kustom, I bought one for around £6 way back that turned out to be a psu-mobo extension. They sent me the right one foc, so now have both 
I didn`t find any1 else tbh.
EDIT: hang on a sec I might have that wrong. I was looking for 6pin to 8pin, so I might have the 8pin-8pin... I`ll check when I get home. It's urs foc if it's the right one.

Ahh really close mate but no Cigar I'm afraid. I was looking at those and I think the layout of PCI-e vs Motherboard connectors is slightly different in that some of the holes are circular, some square thus making them non-interchangable ;(

$2 - now thats a bloody bit more like it
I'll hit them up and see how much international will cost. Shame that nowhere in the UK seems to sell them for less.
What would be even more ideal is if I could just get the plugs and attach my own wires...but I recall going down that road before, and it wasn't nice.

Shoot Tom at ChilledPC an email as they do the 6pin for like £4. He might be able to get a couple in.

Edit: Just spent a while trying to find the part code for just the the connector but it's nowhere. Even on the molex website.

jimbo why not sod the PSU warranty and just extend the cables mate? a little custom wiring is always cool extending 16 wires isnt gonna be too hard. Cut, solder and shrink
