5-pin header connector.
Molex is a manufacturer that makes all kinds of connectors, though 'a Molex connector' is usually a 5v/12v high current power connector (think old PATA drives).

It's a 5 pin auxilary power connector. It was used in some old motherboards I think. I saw one on an old socket 478 board that supported RDRAM.
Anyone knows what this is? I found it on an 2004-2005 era ATX PSU.
It has black, red (5V), and purple wire (5VSB?)

Those "auxiliary" ATX connectros were 6-pin IIRC. See on the right.

PSU fan connector, so the motherboard can detect fan speed.

It has tubular contacts like molex, you wouldn't be able to connect it to the usual 3-pin header. Did motherboards have special connectors for that? It is true that it has smaller gauge wires than the other supply connectors.
