Are you looking for the 20 pin to 24 min converter? If so, I might have some left, but I have to check the price as I cant remember what I paid for t.

If you go to the link he posted you'll see what he wants.

Or maybe you purposefully wanna sell him something he doesn't need?

I was looking for one of the 4pin extension cables a while back. Damn, they are almost impossible to find. I ended up making my own one. I took the 'male' 4pin adapter off a PSU, and got a 'female' adapter off a old motherboard. Soldered everything together - works like a charm.

hmm, I cant solder to save my life so that sucks a lil

@mh348 - Am just looking for a 4 pin extender cause I wanna get a coolermaster 590 case but the PSU is located at the bottom so mine will probably not reach to the cpu

I eventually gave up trying to find one locally, and got a standard molex-to-4-pin adapter from Esquire - looks like this:

aren't those meant to be for a graphics card? k I'm not clued up on all of this so you'll have to forgive me if I say something completely stupid :) but arent the power ratings different for that 4 pin that goes into the mboard and that 1 that will be from a standard molex plug?

It's the same voltage, 12v. Yellow is 12v and the red is 5v.

I thought they carried different amps as well? cause if that works then those are pretty easy to find which is great?

No sure about the amps - there shouldn't be any difference as they are from the same 12V rail in most cases. Mine seems to works fine and have had it running 24/7 for the last 3 years... no problems yet... :)
