How much power does a single 12V connector provide?
A single molex connector pin is rated for 6A (amps) x 12V = 72W (watts). With the new high powered CPU’s, this may not be enough in some cases, and one would be pushing more than what the single 12v molex pin is rated for. ( the two +12v pins of the ATX 24-pin can provide double — 144 watts total).
