OCZ Powerstream 600

In my new build, I figure I'll be using every power connector on the PSU. I HATE "Y" adaptors, so I need some help to create one that will work in this situation. The only open line I will have is 1/2 of the 8-pin 12 volt line (marked as P4 and P4+ on the PSU). Is there any way to adapt that extra line to my Swiftech 12v pump, without voiding my PSU warranty? If I could get a female Molex, I could put the Pump's pins into that and connect directly. The pump comes with the standard 1x4 power plug but only has the 12v/gnd wires on it. Does this even sound feasible?
 
well youd need to change it back if your even going to return it

the 8 pin has the same pins as your main 24 pin connector
so youd cut them off (might want to read the hold the phone sticky first though)
then crip on the typical molex pins that pump shouldnt need the 5V so you OK there
 
Hey Czar. Thing is, I actually just want a P4 "socket" like on the mobo to make an adapter. That way, I have no need to remove the pins from OCZ's original plug. That plug could provide me with (2)12v lines which, then attached to a couple of baybusses, could power a really sweet h2o setup with little wiring mess. It all simply hinges on me finding a plug or premade adapter. Do you know what the Molex part # is for the Mobo's P4 socket? I can't find a Molex dealer that shows pics, so I'm kinda stuck.
 
OK, I've checked Molex's site, and I can't find anything at Zippy either. I don't have an extra Mobo laying around to rape the parts off of. I HATE when I can't find what I need! :mad:
