DFI 24 pin and PC+P 510

[Drazic]

Just got pretty much a whole new rig, no more Intel aghhhh hhahahaha

Lian-Li V2000B off Gangster and then some other bits, Opty setup pretty much, still trying to find a decent GFX PCI-E (thinking something huge but we'll see maybe)

I was ment to be buying a psu off Stocky but i soon relised when i got the mobo shes 24 pin and the psu is 20

Anyhting out there to help this work? I don;t wana have to say to the man i can't have psu due to fitment.

Need to get it all sorted pronto to send it off for some modding and clocking to a mate

Oh i think i still have my cooler master PSU thats goten a 24 pin mobo lead....duno if or how it all works but if there is moding can be done then i have a pin thingy mah dooy whats it's name thing...er yeah

Fin!!!!!!

Cheers Drazic

You can but a 20-24 pin adaptor

Cheers Mav

So the following will do?

Akasa ATX 20-Pin to ATX 24-Pin Adapter Cable



Will need to mod it as i want it to look like it's part of the PC+P kit

 

[maverik-sg1]

Thats it mate - simple.

Not sure wot sort of mod u mean though - all those look the same no matter who's PSU u r using.

I thought from dfi-street an adapter was baaad, and that your better just simply plugging the 20pin into the 24pin (it will fit)...

Eh? pour vo voua?

Mod it in the sense of some sleaving or heat srink over the cables so it'll all ncie and black

Admin's post on it...

Anyways you can just plug the 510 in and go, dont see much point in trying to get those extra 4 pins there as so many people run flawlessly with 20pin.

God they have a bad attitude on that forum..

 

[stocky]

I don't like the way they speak about minimum watts all the time, and totally forget about the Amps - which is an important factor

The funny thing is, they get paid for it too :eh:

Always seems to me like on dfi-street there just trying to make their jobs easier, not the users experience better..

Anyways I just flashed to the 3/29 bios - seems alright. I have been on the 6/18 for ages!

Confused.com is me right now.....

Okay so if i was to bang the 20 pin in what way does it go,

Far left

Far right

Center?

 

[Kesnel]

Put the 20pin connector in so that it sits at the bottom of the 24pin socket ("bottom" meaning as if you were looking at the motherboard mounted in the case). This leaves the top 4 pins free.

Erm, its either top or bottom (leaves 4 pins in a block at one end unplugged). Due to the shaping of the plugs, it will only go in one way.

 

[fatty]

Agreed it only goes in one way

 

[Drazic]

Was gonna say...i'll look tonight to check

So it will work okay, not go bang or die any time soon?

 

[Gangster]

nope, also ive been using an adapter for about a year now - had no problems what so ever.

Confused!

I don't understand one thing in all this...

2 types of connectors: 20 pin & 24 pin. My PSU have 24 pin connector. More correct it's 20+4, 2 connectors but you using them together and at the end of day it's like one connector with 24 pins. So, i unpluged small one with 4 pins to see what's gona happen, but my PC booted up anyway and i couldn't see any difference!!!

So, what's the catch from additional 4 pins???

If you can get away with 20 pin connector way we should use 24 pin one???8)

EDIT: O, and i'm using DFI Expert.

So, it's mean that you Drazic can plug in your 20 pin connector without any adapter and it's should work 8) .

Stability.

 

[stocky]

It just adds additional voltage lines, which also allows a greater current to the motherboard. The PC Power & Cooling range have higher spec wires which can take a higher current. You can see it clearly if you put it next to a cheaper PSU.

 

[Drazic]

Stock is right there dude!

In regards to the 20 V's 24 pin i think i'll use a mod thingy converter

The lines on a PC+P are phat and will do all amps and volts so thus will make the ''24'' work even though it's not true ''24'', went into maplins today and they got em there for £4 so ideal as other pc shop i went to wants £18 nearly
