479855 2006-08-21 09:14:00 I have an Enermax Liberty PSU, with the modular drive cables - but as I wish to add an extra drive I realised I cannot: I don't have enough plugs left.

I'm only using 2 ODD, 1 FDD and 2 HDD at the moment but the location of the connectors means I can't actually plug anything into the spare plugs.

The PSU came with 3 of these cables (1 is used for DVD, CD-RW and Floppy) (1 for 2 SATA HDD) (and one for fans and extra PCI-E motherboard Power)

There are 6 plugs on the PSU for these cables, which would make sense to be able to add 3 more. my PSU box also states that it can handle up to 18 drives (I suppose 3 drives per cable @ six cables, which makes sense)

But I just can't find anywhere to buy them :dogeye: Does anyone know?

Good point! I would have thought they come with all of them and you use them or not as required.
I've asked for you, will post back when I hear.

Apologies.

No worries, I might need splitter/extension cables anyway if I can't get hold of any extra modular ones....

PM me if interested.

Enermax said each Liberty model (400/500/620W) comes with right cable set EX factory. They
advise users not to connect extra cable in case exceeding the power limit.

479863 2006-09-08 02:02:00 Exactly what I thought too which is why I have posted this.
Although I think their excuse is you can have extras for the 600w but not the smaller watt Liberts.

479864 2006-09-08 05:12:00 That is pretty sad on Enermax's part... my PSU has 6 sockets I should be
able to put 6 cables in there!

And, like I said before - it could only support the 18 drives max as stated on the box (of my 400 watt model) with 6 cables in total anyway! 18 drives will not fit on 3 cables

I only want 1 DVD writer added anyway :D surely it can handle that!
