Cougar CMX modular PSU splitter
This 8-pin to triple IDE 4-pin cable is built for Cougar CMX series modular power supplies, turning one free modular port into three separate power connections. It targets builders who need extra Molex-style plugs for fans, LED strips, optical drives or older IDE hard disks. The splitter works only with CMX 1200, 1000, 800, 700 and 550 units.
Who should use this and who should not
Suits anyone expanding a Cougar CMX modular PSU with additional IDE 4-pin devices and wanting a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Not for owners of non-modular or non-CMX power supplies, nor for builds that need more than three IDE connectors from a single port.
Compatibility limited to listed CMX models
The cable is exclusively validated for Cougar CMX1200, CMX1000, CMX800, CMX700 and CMX550 modular power supplies; using it with any other PSU risks incorrect pin-out and potential hardware damage.

Questions about this item
Do I need a free 8-pin modular port on my Cougar CMX power supply to use this splitter?
Yes, the cable plugs into one 8-pin modular output on a Cougar CMX series PSU and provides three IDE 4-pin connectors.
Can I run this cable alongside older IDE hard drives and optical drives still in my case?
The three IDE 4-pin outputs are designed for legacy IDE hard disks, optical drives, chassis fans and LED strips.
How can I confirm the splitter is delivering power correctly after I plug it in?
Connected fans should spin, LED strips should light and any IDE drives should be detected by the BIOS at startup.
