Hi All,
I have EVGA 750G2 power supply.
I'm building a server that is going to have a larger number of HDDs (up to 18 so far) the power supply only has 9 Sata and 3 legacy molex type connectors.   I know I can use splitters, but I was thinking that it might be better if I used some of the unused ports on the power supply itself.  I only have 1 CPU and low power graphics card, so I'm not currently using the 2nd CPU port nor am I using any of the 4x VGA power ports.  Is there a conversion cable that will convert a CPU port or VGA port to more SATA or molex connections?
 
thanks

    If you do decide to use splitters make sure your not drawing more than the port can handle. You might want to contact support to see if they have any helpful advice.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    And they are the 5-Pin ones and NOT the 4-Pin ones.
