| 1478984 | 2021-07-29 04:37:00 | The continuing story of my fried PC rebuild. I'm trying to see if my old mobo will still work. It has an old 4-pin ATX connector. The new power supply has a new 8-pin EATX connector. I've been trying to find an adapter cable, with zero success. None of the usual sources (PBTech, Mighty Ape, Jaycar etc) have one. Any suggestions? Question - if I were to get an ATX extender, i.e. 4 at each end could I plug one end into part of the 8-pin EATX on the new power supply and the other into the old mobo? Any other workarounds? I only want to be able to see of the old mobo will POST. |

BTW the ATX Sockets is usually the Main power plug not the 4/8 pins. |

If you wanted a 20-24 I'd gladly send you some I have a bag with about 20 of them, all new. The Plug you want is CPU Motherboard Power Supply Cable. 8pin Female to 4 Pin Male Basically the Opposite plugs ( Male/Female) to this. 11024 |

Your pic shows the opposite of what I need - doesn't it? |

Aliexpress is usually fine, order lots from them over the years, stuff always has arrived, sometimes here in a week other times 1-3 months. But carefully check the PSU, some do split as I mentioned. Some are tight ( on the Split) some fall apart almost. For example I know for a fact the Silver Stone PSU's i get do split. www.silverstonetek.com Shown on the Plug selection down the page. |
