    floppy power connector

    hi all,

    just got my new graphics card today and i now need an extra floppy drive power connector as i only have one.

    are there any cables that split the floppy connector into two?

    or any other cables that would work?

    thanks
    Lee

    Yes you need to get yourself a molex to the small floppy type conector convertor, as long as you have a large connector free still. Head to maplins if you can

    Yes you can, but you should realy hav a dedicated plug for your graphics and use the passthough on another like if there are any connected to fans or anything? What sort of PSU have you got, should have at least 3 molex connections from it?

    The 3 pin from the PSU is for the fan sensor on the MB, should be labeled up as PSU fan, plug it in
