2x 4pin adapter?

[Piesspark]

HP Motherboard uses 2x 4pin adapters for the psu, stock 180w psu wont do much but has an am4 slot im looking to keep for now to keep costs down, any suggestions?

You gotta give more info than that.  Specifics.

 

Is this 2x 4 pin how the motherboard is powered?

Your motherboard most likely doesn't use 2x4 pin adapters.... the most common proprietary connectors are a 6-8 pin instead of 24pin connector, and a 4 or 8 pin connector for the cpu power.

Look again carefully what cables go into your motherboard.

 

Say the motherboard model (should be printed on it) or say the computer series ... if i have time (or others) can look up the specifications of the pc or maybe picture of motherboard.

Maybe take a picture of the motherboard if you can't figure out the things above?

I'm not home at the moment but believe there may be a 6pin on the mother board I couldn't it at the time from my bad eyes and I'm not very used to go proprietary parts. If not I'll post an update with the picture but thank you for the information.

Give us more data (once you have it)- example - my Dell is 6 pin rectangle, 6 pin flat proprietary to mobo so there can be lots of differences on these proprietary machines.

Okay so there are 3 sets of wires coming from the PSU to the mother board, there's 2 4pins (black and yellow wires) and a 1x6 (green and grey wires) connector that I'm not familiar with, I forgot to mention it's a prebuilt and I'll try to find the exact model, The 8pin in the the image between the 4pin and 1x6 connector goes from the motherboard to sata cords, the only other cords go to the fans and power button, I'll try to get a full image of the board

Best image I could get of the whole thing

And what model HP is this?

 

Can you get a shot of the PSU?  I want to see if it has +5VSB or +12VSB.

You could very well be able to use an adapter like this:

 

https://www.ebay.com/i/323857034491?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=323857034491

 

The two 4-pin power connectors (2x yellow, 2x black, which is two +12V and two ground) are standard PSU connectors.  The other two are not.  Also, you may need +12VSB, which is not standard.  +5VSB is.  So the adapter I linked gives you the two proprietary connectors AND has a +5V to +12V boot converter to change whatever PSU you get from +5VSB to the +12VSB your motherboard requires.

 

EDIT:  Actually.. scratch that.  I looked over your post again and you say there's an 8-pin.  The adapter I linked uses a 6-pin.

 

We'll need that model HP.

 

Either that or just build yourself a PC from scratch using standard PC components.

Im just going to scrap the idea of trying to beef up a prebuilt since hp makes this difficult but thank you for the suggestion
