    Question 20pin PSU to 24pin Motherboard


    Greetings...

    Is it okay to use a 20pin PSU to a 24pin Motherboard? Considering that I know the wattage limitations on the PSU and the components that will be used?

    ang 20pin PSU nako kai rated 65watts...
    total consumption on 'all' components would never exceed 50watts atmost I think...

    components might be:
    intel xeon e3 1220L v2 (17watts max)
    mobo (10watts?)
    stock cpu fan (1watt)
    1x 80mm fan (1watt)
    1x hdd (less than 10watts)

    I don't think its possible without wiring diagram - you have to know what's extra 4 pin, and voltage, used for.
    Try getting/borrow PSU with 24 pins and check the voltage of four extra pins and go from there....

    it can.

    but the safest to use a 20pin on a 24pin slot is to use an adapter


    on the powersupply circuit board. all wires of same output have the same source.

    Syaro imong OEM walai apil converter sa box? Murag apil mana sya sa OEM PSU.
    If I can recall - old PSU's came with 20-24 pin converters.....

    @Jess_V
    these are very old 20pin PSU's, so murag wala pa basin mahimo ang 24pin PSU's sab, therefore, wala converters ^_^
