Hello.

I got an oem pc for free.

It have a 210w or something psu which is enough to run its cpu (i5-3470) and everything else but not gpu.

So motherboard have a 16pin and there is no 24pin to 16pin adapter in my country.

I want to add a cheap gpu like rx 570 and get a 550w psu to runs just the gpu and I find ADD2GPU for just 1 usd (this thing)

So I wonder can I run this for like one month or two till stock get available and I can build a ryzen system?

MWE White v2 is certainly not the best 

But will do the job. 

You can also get a cx450 and that'll be more than enough

As said in OP's thread 

It's proprietory.
