I need to upgrade my audio to a pcie card but it has a 4-pin molex connection.  I can only see 1 plug free, and it's not 4-pin molex.  Do you have a recommendation for what to do?  Thank you!

If what you seeing is a SATA power plug, then this should do the trick

Thank you AssociateDean.  I'll need to educate myself about SATA plugs.  The one I'm seeing is flattish, female and looks like it has a lot of little pins in it.  It looks not much wider than an inch.

Look at these pictures:

to see if any of these adapters is what you want, to connect one of the leads from the power-supply to the socket on the graphics card.

I think it's more like image 1, though it's hard to guess size from the image.  The audio card has plugs.  So one end would have to be female.

 

Would this be appropriate:   https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16812200912

 

Not sure where I got that from.  It seems female to go into the plugs on the audio card.

 

Thank you.

The one at NEWEGG should work, if the lead from your power-supply is BLACK, and the socket on your adapter-card is the 4-pin WHITE "female" MOLEX.

Thank you MdKlassen and & Assoc. Dean for clarifying this for me, and will try the Newegg cable.
