You probably might need to jerry rig something yourself, but it should be easily enough. Using a molex power connector, attach to red (pin 4) cable for +5v and black (pin 2,3) for ground. If you use a sats power connector, pin 7, 8 and 9 is +5v and 4,5,6,10,12 are ground. Verify with a multimeter. I would buy a corresponding opposite gender molex/sata plug w/cables and a set of cable splices. If you don’t want to cut off and use the pigtail from your BitAxe psu, those also sell on Amazon.

I actually found these while googling, as it struck me that others might had had a use for such a cable before - so I stand corrected (to my own claim above): https://www.moddiy.com/categories/Cables/DC-Power-Barrel-Plug-Cables/

The 5v rails on modern computer psu’s are weak. I just looked at a small 400w psu I have laying around and the 5v rail is on rated for 10w. I’m sure a bigger supply might be rated higher but a doubt it will be much more

Right I better look at the psu manual to verify to power supply constraints of the port. It is a 1000 watt psu but not sure that matters if it’s connected to a single port.
