Hi there, i recently bought 5 coolers to my new case, and i noticed they each have molex connectors. I would want to connect them to 1 of 2 molex female cables that are coming out from my psu. The problem is, in order for my gpu to work i have a 8 pin to 2 molex adapter. 8 pin goes to gpu and those 2 molex cables connect with both the ones coming out from psu. Won't it cause any problem if i leave my gpu with only 1 molex connected and the other would go with my coolers. Or will it result a possible tragic result ? So should i just buy a new power supply with integrated 8 pin and 4 or even more molex cables , or just use my current psu but with adapters?
 
leaving the GPU cables alone, aren't there other spare molex connectors?
like, piggyback off one of the drive molex plugs with one of these...

that's a 6-way but there are 4-way and 2-way's as well.
