EVGA PSU to b46h5-ad motherboard

[Mardok]

Hello, i am trying to upgrade my son's PSU/GPU. The problem i am having is that on his MB (b46h5-ad motherboard) he has a 6 pin Atx power connector. The PSU doesn't come with a 6 pin connector other than the PCIE ones. I found an adapter that is 24 to 6 pin, but have read that these adapter can cause issues. The new PSU (EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W Power Supply( 100-W1-0500-KR) has two PCie 6+2 on it. So was wondering if i could use one of them for the 6 pin on the MB sense it says it's to give the GPU extra power in the manual and then one 10 inch cable from the second one to the 1060 i am putting in his computer. I'm not sure which route is best or if either is even possible because i've never had this issue. This won't be a long term solution, because i plan on getting him a new system before long. Thanks for in advice in advance.

That's garbage you don't want to use in any system.

NO! It's for GPU only.

Yes It's on acer prebuild

 

I don't see acer on it, but on some forums and review people were using the one I'm looking at in the same acer that i have for the same reason. It is actually made for dell. I can't seem to find one for the MB in his system in the system. 

 

It was cheap so thought for temp solution i would use it.

 

Yeah i thought i was GPU, but it's been awhile sinse i've actually changed parts on a PC so wasn't sure if things had changed in PSUs. Also on some the post i read about the atx power connector they said that slot also gave extra power to the GPU and some said you could use the pcie and use a 10 ince extender to run the other one to the GPU, but i didn't really trust that so that's why i came here to ask.

 

I am getting him a new computer in a few so just trying to get this one running again in the mean time.

I have a similar question regarding my set-up if anyone can help me

I have an Acer Aspire TC Professional Tower Desktop (Intel Core i9, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD, DVD-RW, Windows 10 Home) that also has the B46H5-AD MB, but I cannot find the original product page because it was purchased as an upgraded from stock PC from a private seller, and the model tower is no longer listed. I am waiting to hear back from the seller about the PSU because I am planning on purchasing an EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 SC ULTRA GAMING, 04G-P4-1057-KR, 4GB GDDR5, Dual Fan, Metal Backplate (04G-P4-1057-KR). 

 

I am far from a computer expert, but I would think my PSU would need to be upgraded as well, but I have no idea if it is one of these ATX120V that I saw described by Linus Tech Tips. I want to upgrade this PC with the GTX 1650 as soon as possible (gift for my daughter soon), but I am lost as to what PSU to purchase.

 

edit: There IS an open 6 pin SATA on the MB (item 6-left on the attached image) that I was going to use for the GPU, but I think I still need to upgrade the PSU, yes?

Look..  You made a mistake.  Sorry.   Throw it all in the garbage and start over.

It's not ATX12VO. It's using a proprietary connector.

That card requires a 6pin PCIe connector. Try and find a GTX1650 without an additional connector.

 

Check the label on the power supply to see how much power it can output on 12V.

I'm assuming that means I'm better off swapping/upgrading the PSU if I want to stick with the 1650?

I'm coming up with a bunch of 1050 models, but struggling to find a 1650 without the 6-pin (also can't find any 1050s with dual displayport outputs)

I'm assuming you mean the rating on the proprietary PSU already in place? Spec on the tower said 300w, but I haven't opened it up yet to check on the internal box

 

 

Are there issues I should be concerned about with it being a proprietary PSU? Is there a specific type of PSU I should be replacing it with?
