dose side matter?

[Nightmare-Rex]

dose it matter waht side of the cables i use on the fully modular EVGA supernova gold 650 PSU? liek one side is an 8 pin and other side mbeing an 6+2 pin, while the motherbard cable has the split pins on one side and not on the other. i read using the wrong cables with the psu can cuase major problems so wonderign if side matters?

 

i see forr the mobo cord tho it seems to want me to plug in the 18+10 pin into the PSU and the 24 pin stick out, unfortnaly thugh the motherbard has the smaller pins connector. will i need an adaptor? will that cuase problems? i dont knwo if i can send the PSU back and get another one?

Yes it matters. You need to plug the PSU side of the cables in to the PSU. For PCIe cables the 6+2 side will be the graphics card side. For the motherboard the 20+4 pin connector goes in to the motherboard and the 10+18 connectors go in to the power supply.

What motherboard are you using? If it has a 24pin connector the EVGA cable will fit. Only reason it won't fit is if you're using a motherboard that has a proprietary connector like a Dell or HP.

Agree with Spotty but to give some more insight. Each connector uses different power so VGA labeled cables are for your GPU. You also have CPU labeled cables. You do need to keep all of those connected properly on the power supply. For example, if you run a power cable from the 8 pin on your motherboard you need to connect it to the CPU labeled plugs on your power supply. Don't plug it into anything else. That will cause problems.

ah yea it is a xeon 230 so thats why it wont fit? awht PSU do i need or what cord will i need? so i guess it has the HP proprity conenctors  i bughtt he PSU form gamestop so i dont know if can send it back or not but now thats porobbaly going to cost me another 20 30 bucsk to do that.

also i foudn this on amazon, and its stating the 24 pin male to the HP motherbiard, so would that work or cause problems?

 

https://www.amazon.com/EZSync-Motherboard-Adapter-Workstation-EZSync910/dp/B0781XJXRY

 

this one is out of stock tho so hopefulyl can find antoehr one.

i foudn oen in stock but says will come the 22nd, which is goign to murdeer the 30 day warrenty i have on the card and PSU  https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32967822221.html how dose tha twork tho should i try it or have therebeen problems? it also says "Z230" in it so assume shoudl work solong as its STANDARD atx to the alien garbage?

What's the exact model of PC you have? Can you post a pic of the connector on the motherboard.

Those two adapters you posted are very different.

need to find the stinking camaera in the house, it is the Z230's original motherbaord ill post it if i fidn th estupid camera

 its the 2nd one tho i poste dthat looks like the proper one tho.

[Nightmare-Rex]

foudn the crappiest camera in the house and a lighter for a flashlight  but as can see its an 18 pin one so it's the 2nd one wont come till the 22ns dthugh it says dang

also theres two CPU ends instead of one, guess i can use eaither one?

 

also i see theres no switch on it to chage from 120ish V from 240V i guess its automatic now?

[Nightmare-Rex]

PS it is a evga gold psu which i am reading uses diffrent cables, are they jsut talkign cables to the SATA hardrives, and the CPU are is the motherbard diffrent too,says it has japense cables so guess woudl tell if japense PSU main cable is diffrent.

 

anybody have a cheap hp they dotn care about tto test while i wait for the card? only finding non hp around my house

[Nightmare-Rex]

i foudn this website alogn with some youtube videos of them using a 750W gold evga supernova along with the adaptot.

 

i jsut got the gtx 970 in the mail so cant really use it till i get the PSU adaptor, but i noticed my card has two 6 pins instead of one 8 pin one 6 pins? why? should i use "vga 1" to power BOTH the 6 pins? or should i use VGA 1 and VGA 2 to connect to it SEPERATELY? seems wont be recivign the adaptor thugh till aroudn 22nd next month thugh so hope nothing needs a 30 day warrenty.

 

also i see a conenctort on the top? so can put an extention on the card? i hope the 650W is enugh

[Nightmare-Rex]

BUMP, stil waiting for the adaptor in the mail, anybody have edxperiance with those adaptors? (24 pin to 18 pin) it worrys me beucsae says uses japenese cords or soemthign that are DIFFRENT from "regular" ones, but then read its jsut the SATA and CPU eta and NOT the power (seeing as video and fourm showing someone installing the same PSU, gold 750W insttead 650W tho) and shows it CAN bve done, i spent extra 5$ for one that SIED it works with the z230, since some didden tlist mine so figured better saf ethan sorry.

 

but still wondering if ANYONE had expeiance wqith that? i think testing out this adaptor should be something linus do on his youtube channel as he ofton likes to look at wired only usefull for pacific uses compouter parts.
