Hey guys,
I'm new to all things pc building and modding so please be patient!

Here's the scoop: I have 2x CCFL uv attached to an inverter and then a split female/male molex to power them.

I have an evga 750w GS fully modular so there's no molex. It came with some molex to 6 pin adapters but it's not working. I think it's not enough juice? Tried multiple 6 pin slots.

Any help? Tried contacting the supplier and he was a huge dick about how the lights were tested and work fine and Didn't want to help me troubleshoot.

Any nice folks out there?
Thanks!
Amanda

    Welcome to the Forum Meowzen
    Do you have any Test Stuff like
              110v AC to DC 12v Power Supply with 4pin Molex (5000mA)
    They work well for small items like Fans and LEDs.
    The only Device I was not able to use this with was 5 Fan Controller but all 12VDC Computer part this works well for testing.
    I have 4 Different Molex to 6 pin adapters SATA Power cables and NONE of them worked on the Molex side.
    CCFL take very little to power them so I would think you should be ok with your current PSU.
    It also could be a dead 4-pin power pass-through connector as most if not all CCFL Bulbs are AC.
    What is the Make and Model Number of your CCFL?

    Sounds like faulty adapters.

    was there ever an answer to this question. I have ccfl inverter from aquacool and it won't light up unless i unplug it and replug it while the system is on. If i push the start button on the pc it will not light up. Is it drawing to much power, i have three other things attached to the a 4 molex connector that is plugged in the perphi slot. So again am I already drawing to much power is that why it won't turn on.
