The CPU 4-Pin EPS 12V connector is the same as a standard PSU cable, so you can plug that cable into the motherboard without an adapter. Also, every 8-pin CPU cable can be split into a 4-pin cable. Thank you. (I used Google Translate to understand your comment.)
Yes, I did. Previously, I used this cable with a Corsair SF750 PSU, and I did not know that this cable always activates the PSU to turn on. This is because the Corsair SF750 PSU has a zero fan RPM function. However, recently, I used this cable with a 460W Dell PSU, and the power supply indicator LED is always on.
@@itggear3400 I guess that would be a workaround. Using a PSU with zero RPM mode. Im hearing that there may be a technical limitation preventing full shutdown. Im looking into it as well as a possible workaround.
The reason why using that cable adapter causes the PSU to always turn on is because the cable uses a jumper from a ground pin to the power-on pin (green wire) on the power supply’s 24-pin cable. So, whenever we plug the PC into the wall, the PSU always turns on. This behavior is common in mining rigs that use multiple PSUs. As you can see, the wires connect directly from one pin to another on the cable adapter itself. Usually, the PSU is controlled by the motherboard for power on/off using that green wire pin. However, since the cable adapter converts the 24-pin to a 6-pin configuration, it uses the ground pin connected directly to the green wire, bypassing the motherboard’s control over the PSU.
@@itggear3400I'm having the same issue, the PSU fan immediately spins after plugging it in. Do u have any idea on how to make it work as is like normal? Btw my pc is an Acer Veriton X2260G with 6 pin ATX just like this. I couldn't find any video online about it. I'm planning to migrate the motherboard to a tower case and plug-in my RX5700XT.
@@iloveboo24 It's not faulty, so as long as we use the cable adapter, it will work like that.

So, whenever we plug the PC into the wall, the PSU always turns on. If you want your pc work normally, you need to replace the Dell 500W power supply, and you can check my video here: th-cam.com/video/T3YSc5DIC5s/w-d-xo.html
this motherboard only load 12v rail of the psu. use only dc2dc on 5 & 3.3v rail psu with this kind of adapter (usually 80+ gold). loading 12v only with old psu (80+ bronze, or group regulated psu) will cause crossloading and instability to the psu.
Hello, I think it may not work. Also, the cable pinout will not fit into the ATX power slot on the motherboard. Also, if we force plug the cable into the motherboard and turn it on, it may cause damage to the electronic component on the motherboard. Thank you.
Would the adapter work on optiplex 7050 sff, i need to upgrade my psu so i can use the 1050 ti that i have, i need insights before purchasing an adapater
Please check if your PC motherboard uses a 6-pin or 8-pin ATX power connector. If it uses a 6-pin connector, the adapter in this video should work for you. However, if it uses an 8-pin connector, you will need a 24-pin to 8-pin ATX power supply adapter instead.
So is this safe? Because if it is(I will be using a GTX 660 TI, much better than my AMD Radeon R7 240 6GB) it would save me money on buying a new motherboard, power supply and RAM(I was intending to sell my PC to get enough money to do it, I have a spare cpu that I would swap it out with)
Based on my experience, using a 24-pin to 6-pin cable adapter has its pros and cons: Pros: - Allows you to use a standard power supply. - Enables installation of a graphics card. - PC continues to run without issues. Cons: - The adapter may keep the PSU always on due to direct contact between grounded wires and active power supply wires. - When using the adapter, manual power-off or unplugging from the wall is necessary when stopping PC usage. Remember that individual experiences may vary, and it’s essential to weigh these factors carefully. If in doubt, seek professional advice. Thank you.
@@itggear3400 always on isnt terrible it doesnt use much power i think when the components are off. source : ive shorted a psu to run a gtx 1080 and now a pascal titan x for like 8 months now.
The Dell OptiPlex 7070 uses the same power supply as Dell OptiPlex 3080 so It should work fine with 24pin to 6pin main ATX power cable adapter. Thank you.
Hi, good video. i have a problem with my rx 580 when i make the installation like you do, and i install the drivers when i reboot my pc there is no video just visual artifacts. can you help me? i tested the video card on other pc and it works great. ty.

I have the same problem when I install the Nvidia Quadro T1000 4GB on my Dell Precision T3630. The problem seems to occur randomly when the PC boots to BIOS or before booting to Windows. I thought the issue was because my PC BIOS does not recognize the GPU, but when I reboot the PC, sometimes it happens again and sometimes it doesn’t. My PC doesn’t use the 24-pin cable adapter, and this issue does not occur with other GPUs. I’m not sure if my problem is the same as yours, but it is most likely not because of using the adapter. To troubleshoot your PC, you can remove the GPU and then boot to Windows. Use DDU software to completely remove the old GPU driver, update your PC BIOS, and then try your GPU again. If the issue still occurs, check if your GPU functions normally by trying it in another PC. Thank you."
did u run any issues with it, i have a optiplex 3070 i5 9500 and i was hoping if this would work since i keep asking on reddit and they keep insisting that it woudnt work since it has proprietary connectors
Based on my experience, There is no issue with using the cable adapter. However, I proceeded at my own risk. If you want to upgrade the original Dell 500W power, you can buy one for around $60 on Amazon or AliExpress.

After few months of use, no signs of PSU overheat ? Because I don't see so much space to evacuate hot air in the rear of your case. You changes the stock psu by a regular ATX but the rear design is not the same... See the little window of air spacing remaining ! I'm pretty sure that if you cut a little bit in the rear you would have less air noise ;) But thank you for your video !!!
The Corsair SF750 has a Zero fan rpm function. Based on my setup, I installed RTX 4060 on the PC. The total power consumption was below 300W, and the fan of the PSU did not spin at all. Indeed, the PSU ventilation is lacking in this PC case, so I'm not sure about any other PSU. Thank you.
