Hello all,

 

Long time since I've been here but need some help. My trusty XL202 HTPC is still going strong, 5years 4 months from date of purchase. I've upgraded the RAM and Graphics card (old Sony one died!); I would now like to install a USB3.0 PCI card to enable me to plug in external drive with good transfer speed.

 

These cards need power and I can't see a spare cable to use!?!

 

Can I use a power cable splitter? The connection on the PCI card is Molex male.

 

Would appreciate any assitsatnce. Thanks in advance!

 

Rgds,

 

JG
