As noted above Molex would be OK for a 75W 6 pin but pulling 150W (even if it's only 2 more grounds) through cheaply made connectors will cause them to burn up.  At the least use a PSU that has more 6 pin connectors - those Molex have crappy 18AWG usually.

that adapter looks terrible. It looks like 4 grounds and 4 12v. if you plug that in, you will fry your video card. The PCI-E 8 pin is 5 grounds, 3 12v.

hi i have 3x vapor-x + mobo @ 1250w ocz working
i have another 3x vapor-x currently they are sleeping like "Sleeping Beauty"

it has only 2x PCI-E Connector so i can run only 1 gpu each psu
so my 1 gpu will still sleep.
btw i think to use pci-e to molex

i will need to connect 4 molex to psu,so i will split them to 2 psu as equivalent. 2x molex each psu

so my question is .
may i have any problem with latest card  Huh

why dont you buy a single 1200 watt psu rather than 2x 500 , that is not sufficient and you will fry you mobo or psu.
