Does anyone know of some adaptor you can get or some frig you can do to power a molex without needing to be connected to the mobo,

so some how to use my psu to test my pump, etc without the need of installing everything?

Thanks =D

Just link the green wire with any of the blacks.
Also remember, if you use a paper clip, don't touch the metal when you power it up.

The green cable receives the 'Power good' signal I believe? And black is ground, so you'd have a hard time shocking yourself

lol yea, aside from opening the psu and sticking your hands in there, theres no voltage from any connector that can shock you.
