Power cables for GTX 970?

[space_brain]

Bought a used pc on ebay, seller didn't include the pci-e cables (emailed to ask for them, but fear seller probably lost them as it doesn't look like he had a graphics card). I bought this 2x molex to 6 & 6+2 pci-e adapter cord http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XB7PWB6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 to power a pci-e graphics card, but had second thoughts on safety...is a 970 too much for this? It's my understanding that only the yellow wire on the molex connector is a 12v line, so the graphics card would be drawing all its power from those 2 wires(except for what the pci-e port supplies). I also have a 660ti I could use until I get the proper stuff hooked up, or would even that draw too much power?

the psu is a coolermaster 600w (Silent Pro M600) as seen here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...6&cm_re=RS-600-AMBA-D3-_-17-171-036-_-Product

edit: Found what I think are the missing cords on the coolermaster site: http://www.cmstore-usa.com/pci-e-6-...nd-6-pin-modular-connector-cable-oem-package/

Each one is $5, shipping is 10-12 depending on if I get 1 or 2. These would work but are these necessary?

I personally don't like molex to pci-e cables, they just don't seem safe to me, that's just my opinion.
I would grab a couple of those cables from CM and call it a day.

Your intuition is right, molex to PCI-e is likely not safe.

they are OK in a pinch IF you ACTUALLY CONNECT THEM TO ENTIRELY SEPARATE MOLEX FEEDS!

the fires happen when people hook them to daisy chained 4pins on the same wire

that said, the real cables are a much better choice

You mean daisy chaining it to itself is a bad idea?

I've read enough stories and remembered there being caveats that I marked it in my mind as a "do not do" especially if you are OCing.

well yeah, exactly

I am NOT disagreeing with you

If a person understands what I said above then be my guest, I have done it and loaded 8800s 100% and gotten away with it.

If you don't understand what I said above...just don't. If pressed I can dig up the pics of melted yellow wires, there are plenty to choose from.

I was agreeing with you.
