fuzzywasaduck2 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've just bought this mobo (2nd hand), but it didn't come with the said adapter. My PSU only has a 4 pin (2x2) P4 connecter, which according to the instruction manual, is OK as long as I use the adapter :censored2: Now, I have AN adapter which takes a 8pin (2x4) from the PSU and puts it out to 2 4pin (2x2) - presumably for dual CPUs. I can re-wire this to MAKE the adapter. Can someone describe how the adapter reconfigures the wires, or possibly upload a pic? Any help will be much appreciated - I'd love to get this thing up and running Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzywasaduck2 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Bump To be clear - I need to make an adapter to go from the 4pin CPU 12v rail to an 8pin This adapter comes with the mobo (but not with mine) - I need to know what it does - how the wires get reconfigured Really hope this makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzywasaduck2 Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thanks for this - as it turns out, my problems were bigger than a simple cable 2 pins on the CPU socket were down - repaired one, but the other was to bent to repair - had a good go though It's a dark christmas eve for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
