anyone else have problems fitting in their PCI-E power from their PSU into 2 sockets that have no gap between them

basically I have a Tagan PSU - and I can fit one in - but the width of the PCI-E Power connectors won't allow me to plug another in :(

I've had to run the card using the supplied 2xmolex > PCI-E power adapter + 1 of the PCI-E power connectors from the PSU

only problem is I only have one branch of Molex connectors off my PSU (the other 2 branches are SATA) - so I'm running the PCI-E adapter off 2 Molexs off the same branch but seems to work ok

any ideas how to get round this ? surprised no-one else has had this problem ?

I thought about some sort of PCI-E power extension lead - do OCUK sell one ?

cheers, Mark.

Tagan Power Forge cable might help, not sure if your PSU already has one though.
I would probably file down the plugs.

thanks - was thinking that .... quite a bit of filing to do though :(

Had a look at the Tagan Power Forge cable - and the ends of that are exactly the same as my PSU ones :(
