24 pin adapter to 8 pin..

[BlackCap01]

Hello there, can i use 24 pin adapter to 8 pin ...my motherboard has an 8 pin power supply socket..and 4 pin cpu socket...but the psu i bought doesnt have 8 pin power supply for motherboard..

[mariushm]

That motherboard uses a proprietary connector for power, and it's 10pin by the way... it's not standard ATX and ATX power supplies don't have to provide that connector.

 

You can search eBay and sites like Amazon for extension/adapter cables which convert your 24 pin ATX connector to that proprietary connector.

Use search terms like "atx 24 pin to [HP | Dell | Fujitsu | Lenovo | 10 pin ]  adapter"  - use your own computer brand .... check descriptions for where it may say compatible models or not.

 

example (THIS MAY NOT BE THE ONE YOU NEED) ... searching for 24 pin atx to 10 pin adapter shows this adapter cable for Lenovo motherboards: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Replace-24Pin-Female-to-10-Pin-Male-Adapter-Cable-for-ATX-Lenovo-Motherboard-HOT/254250479820

Yes this is what i need thank you very much...also if i use 1060 gtx 6 gb ..with that adapter will it cause melting to that adapter i mean will motherboard draw more power for that gpu..will anything unusual happens..

FYI: These PC's aren't meant to be upgraded.  They're meant to be disposed of and replaced.  That's why they use proprietary parts.

After upgrading the psu. Look into a better cpu.

Or just get a computer that's upgradable.  That thing really isn't.  Do yourself a favor and do not pour money into an obsolete old motherboard.

The best replacement cpu probably cost 12 to 20 bucks. Not everyone cares about the latest tech to watch Netflix and read email. You could put all this stuff in another case to practice building. Use it till it dies, and put in some new stuff later. Looked like the board had a few quality caps. I wana know what kind of board it is. I havent tried cannibalizing one of these 10 pin motherboards yet.

True.  But then he doesn't need a 1060 GTX and a bigger/better PSU either.  Might as well just leave it as-is.

This is lenovo v series (ib250 mh) came with i5 7400

Thank u everyone...so the solution is to buy a new board...or i can use it with adapter..after upgrading this thing..

[mariushm]

There's 2 pairs of 12v and ground wires in that 10 pin connector. Each pair can safely carry 12v 9A to the motherboard... that's 100w ... so two pairs of wires can easily get 200 watts or so into the motherboard.

From those 200w, only 60..75w can be used to power the pci-e slot, and the rest are available for other things (chipset, powering ram, creating 5v and 3.3v for sata ssds and hard drives, powering chipset and onboard audio, lan etc.

 

You have more than enough power coming into the motherboard for everything, no need to worry about it. Get one of those adapters and you'll be fine.

 

[mariushm]

If you do decide to replace the motherboard, you need socket 1151 motherboards.

 

The cheapest options i see on Amazon India are these:

 

1 3500 RS  Asrock H110M-HDV : https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01579VFDY/

2. 3550 RS MSI H110M Pro VH Plus : https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01HTDFZK0/

3. 4350 RS Gigabyte GA-B250M-D2V : https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01N7MLXOK/

 

For you there's not really any benefit for going with the more expensive Gigabyte B250 chipset based board, the specs are the same.

Thank you very much...mariushm...at least i saved some money n time talking to you

I'd try an i7 in there. Lenovos run great.  My friend has an old core 2 duo 3ghz 6mb cache lenovo thinkcentre. It's been through tons of upgrades, and boots really fast. He's able to overclock his firepro to the max. Still uses a 4:3 vga acer monitor. Lol

Yup...they r good but the problem every lenovo series is either 14 pin or 10 pin..using adapter is not good as factory made....

[BlackCap01]

I tried 24 to 10 pin adapter in my motherboard using my old 450 watt psu..see what happened... thank god it just blew the psu...

Don't throw em away, make use of them!  Those conversion cables cost next to nothing, heres mine all modded the F out (left handed mobo, all things proprietary)

I just read this gem - JonnyGURU is the shit.  Knows more than you will ever hope to know @BlackCap01 - put some respect on his name.

Modding for fun is one thing.  But you need to know what you're doing.  I always like a good challenge like a Hackintosh or making an old ColecoVision housing into an ITX PC.  But trying to "update" a big box build into something it was never meant to be ends up being a bad idea most of the time.

Agree, this PC could have blown up when it was all said and done and I would only be out money in exchange for the experience and that was the point - with my main rig I try not go jank up things to much lol

[mariushm]

I have to disagree and say that you're all blowing this out of proportions.

 

We're talking about an adapter cable that's bought by tens if not hundreds of people and you're not seeing any reviews out there or people reporting any damaged computers.

 

It's just a cable that rearranges the existing wires into a different order, it doesn't add wires or create additional voltages or introduce any potential points of failure.

The motherboard simply accepts only 12v instead of -12v, 5v and 3.3v .. .3.3v and 5v are produced with voltage converters on the motherboard and -12v is probably not needed if the board doesn't have serial ports anymore.

 

There's no need to scare people or ridicule these motherboards with proprietary connectors. The actual chips are the same as the ones used in regular motherboards with the full connectors.. the only differences are the lack of heatsinks and the bad habit of not installing connectors (ex pci-e x1 slots, the 2 extra ddr4 slots not soldered to the board)

And the difficulty when it blows up of getting replacement parts vs an off-the-shelf solution.  Or being able to get any warranty or quality new-old-stock as typically the part is only available used on eBay (which can be sketchy and recycled typically).

we aren't ridiculing the chips, we're talking about an old, proprietary motherboard with no designed upgrade path and an OEM power supply with no connectors for a video card (because case typically isn't expected to house one, or at least not something GTX 1060-level).
