So:

 

I Had A PSU Off My Friend Which Is A: Chicony 500w Modular PSU,

 

It Only Has CPU And PCI-E Connectors, No Sata, No Molex And No 24 Pin Either, He Said I Come With His Prebuilt Predator Gaming PC But I Don’t Understand How I Can Connect This And Everything Works? 


As You Can See There’s No Additonal Ports Or Wires,

 

 

Can I Still Set This Up In My PC?

Help Me Please? 😂

Then it's not going to be of much use.

What I think is going on is that this PSU is one of those 12V only PSUs, that offload the other voltages to regulators in a separate module or on the motherboard.

English is not my first language, so please excuse any confusion or misunderstandings on my end, also I like to edit my posts a lot.

Take a picture of the label, if there is one. As @Average Nerdsaid, this power supply probably supplies standard 12 volts to the motherboard 

 

If your PC only needs a CPU and graphics card power connector, yes you can. Sounds like you will have no issue if you use an m.2 SSD 

 

But check out this adapter

https://a.co/d/88LJSg7

Convers the 5v that comes off the USB to give you SATA power if you need it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

And if you have a motherboard that doesn't need a ATX 24 pin connector.

Whoops I did overlook that. I forgot that 12vo has that separate transformer on the mobo for 5v

Looks like ewaste, it can only be used in OEM non standard boards, get a standard one if you're building a PC
