To owners of the SFF (Small Form Factor) model of the HP Compaq Elite 8300 computer: These machines (and I believe the other SFF models of the 8000 series, i.e. 8100, 8200, etc.) utilize a rare PSU (Power Supply Unit) form factor of CFX. The only CFX power supplies I have found are all 240W and are light weight for most graphics cards. The number of low profile graphics cards that will fit into the SFF machine have increased considerably in the past few years. In addition to half height profile, you must check the card length against the space from the rear of your machine to the taller components towards the front. If the card is half height and not too long to interfere with other machine components, you can install it. However, power is another matter. While some lower power graphics cards will work with the stock 240W power supply, if the card has a separate power connector or draws too much power, it is not an option for the stock PSU. Fortunately, a PSU upgrade is possible, but requires a non-standard installation of a higher power PSU that will physically fit in the computer case even though not designed to do so. Two other PSU form factors may fit into the space taken by your existing PSU. The narrow portion of the PSU case location, which is deep and tall enough to accommodate a non-standard PSU, is approximately 100mm wide and 85mm tall. Common ATX and SFX PSUs will not fit in this space. The Flex-ATX form factor power supply is 81.5mm wide and only 40.5mm tall, so it will easily fit in the space, even if there is a secondary hard drive immediately in front of it. These PSUs are available with up to at least 350W. The other possible form factor is TFX. These PSUs are 85mm wide and 65mm tall, so they also will fit in your machine, but not if you have a 3.5” secondary hard drive immediately in front of it in the secondary hard drive location (the problem is that the TFX PSU will need to sit on top of the secondary hard drive, causing the top of the PSU to interfere with the top cover of the computer case). TFX PSUs are available in capacity of up to at least 500W. Depending on the height of its mounting hardware, a 2.5” secondary hard drive may be short enough to permit a TFX PSU to sit above it and not interfere with the top cover. However, neither of these form factor PSUs have the ability to physically mount into your case like your existing unusually shaped CFX PSU. The simple solution is to mount the new PSU with double faced tape to secure it in place. The next issue is connecting the new PSU to the motherboard and peripherals. Most Flex-ATX and TFX PSUs come with a 24pin or 20/4pin connector, a 4pin CPU power connector and some array of 4pin Molex, SATA and floppy drive power connectors. None I have seen have the KF2510-6P female plug found on your PSU. Also, these PSUs provide the now standard +5vsb (standby), not the +12vsb required by your motherboard. Fortunately, many sources provide an adapter cable that plugs into the new PSU's 24pin or 20/4pin connector and provides the 6pin main power plug and the KF2510-6P plug required by your motherboard. An eBay search for "ATX 6pin 2port supply cable" will bring up a host of sources for this adapter, which includes a DC voltage converter that converts the new PSU's +5vsb to the +12vsb you need. The new PSU's 4pin CPU (Central Processing Unit) power connector is connected to the motherboard at the same location as was the identical plug from your original PSU. However, the flat 6 pin in-line KF2510-6P female connector on many of these adapters is not wired correctly for the HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF machine. Looking at the wire end of the connector with the raised guides pointing up and the rectangular holes facing down, the left most wire position is Pin 1 and the right most wire position is Pin 6. The adapter has 4 wires going to this connector of various colors. Because they are not standard, the wire colors are not important, just the Pin numbers of the 24 Pin receptacle and the KF2510-6P connector they run between. One wire connects to Pin 16 of the 24 Pin receptacle, the PS_ON or Power Supply On pin. The other end of this wire should go to Pin 3 of the KF2510-6P connector (the same location as the green wire on the original power supply connector). The wire that connects to Pin 8 of the 24 Pin receptacle (the PS_OK or Power Supply OK or Power supply Good pin) should connect to Pin 4 of the KF2510-6P connector (the same location as the grey wire on the original power supply connector). The other two wires connected to Pins 17 and 18 of the 24 Pin receptacle (or any other ground pins) should go to Pins 5 and 6 of the KF2510-6P connector. These locations have no wires connected on the original power supply connector. If the wires on your adapter are not connected correctly to the KF2510-6P plug, move the wires to the correct locations described above. To remove a wire from the plug, place a needle or other small pointed object like a toothpick gently into the small rectangular hole on the plug at the location of the wire you wish to remove. Press the needle gently inward and upward to release the metal wire connector and pull the wire and connector out of the plug. If the tiny tab on the metal connector is no longer bent away from the body of the connector, use the needle to push it out slightly so it will snap into the rectangular hole at the new wire location into which it will be placed. With just this adapter, correctly wired, your computer will work with your new PSU. The drive power connectors from the new PSU can be connected directly to your drives, replacing the cable currently connecting your motherboard to the drives' power connectors. Not only does this reduce the current flowing through the motherboard, it also eliminates much of the +12v to +5v conversion currently performed by your motherboard with the original PSU. One minor disadvantage of this PSU upgrade is that your computer will seek a "PSU fan on" signal when it boots. Since Flex-ATX and TFX PSUs do not provide this signal, you will get a 515 error message (Power Supply fan not detected) during the boot. Just follow the screen instruction to ignore this false warning by pressing F1 and the boot will continue. This error can be avoided by connecting your CPU cooling fan to Pin 2 of the KF2510-6P PSU adapter connector (the same location as the white wire on the original CPU plug). This requires adding a 5th wire to the KF2510--6P connector on the adapter. Snap-in crimp connectors for this additional wire come with any KF2510 female connector, so you can buy a KF2510-2P plug and use one of its 2 crimp connectors for the new wire on the PSU adapter plug, leaving the Pin 1 location empty (the same location as the white with red stripe wire on the original PSU connector). The other end of the new wire is connected to the TAC or SENSE lead of your CPU cooling fan by spicing it to the appropriate fan power plug lead. This lead is usually a green wire but in any event it is the wire that connects to the #3 pin of the fan power connector which is the second closest to the side of the cabinet. With this arrangement, upon booting your motherboard sees the TAC or SENSE signal from your CPU cooling fan and reads it as coming from your always on new PSU fan, thus avoiding the false boot error entirely. While this upgrade may appear intimidating, it really is not very difficult. Due to engineering changes by HP, I cannot guarantee this will work with your machine and like always, you proceed at your own risk. I did it with a 500W TFX PSU in my HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF machine to support a new graphics card and future peripherals and it works very well. My hard drive is a single 2.5" Solid State mounted in the main hard drive location below the DVD drive, so there is no drive immediately in front of the new power supply in the secondary hard drive location, allowing me to install the TFX profile PSU without interference. Good luck!!!
Really appreciate this write up, and I know it's old but I need help. I have an issue with my HP 6300 SFF where it will begin to boot, but promptly shut off. I did use an Amazon cable rather than the one linked in the video , but it was highly rated and mostly everyone reported success across the board with it, so I tried it. Lights turn on and fans will begin spinning for maybe 2 seconds then it will shut off (PSU will make a click), and just keep cycling through it. I doubt it's a bad PSU considering it's a brand new EVGA 750w G3 (not a cheap one). I also tried using a PSU tester and it works perfectly fine when testing. Not sure what the issue is, but it feels like something is forcing it to shut off for "safety" purposes.
I used this for the HP 800 g1 TWR, and hp elite 8300 cmt. I got my adapter on Amazon. It had the black red yellow and green wires. I put the black wire in pin 6. Red in 5. Yellow in 4. Green in three. I kept getting the four beep error. After about three hours and nearly destroying the machine with a hammer I realized I forgot to plug in the cpu power cable from the new psu to the motherboard!!! I'm glad it worked out and for any one reading this in future these two models work with the pin arrangement I just listed but don't forget the cpu power!
Vic Bcn No tinenen numero. Cuentalos tu. El #6 es el de la izquierda cuando lo ves con el lado liso hacia arriba. No se te olvide connectar el cable de poder del CPU. Total son tres differentes cables que tinenen que estar connectados. El que modificaste. El que esta enseguida de ese. Y el que estra arriba enseguida del processador
Jose Ahumada. Yo tengo una Hp 800 elitedesk g1 Encerio si te funcion el adptador. Hay que mover Cables del adaptador? Tienes fotos o alguna COnfiguracion ?? te lo agradeceria
@Jose Ahumada Hi do you still have this pc because i have the same pc and i want to change the psu but i dont know is this cabel is work propertly on this pc ?
knowing you can convert small form factor $40 office pcs to now use non-proprietary universal power supply through the use of an adapter cable, thus non-mini sized gpus can get powered makes gaming on a $40 computer with your own power supply, and gpu the ULTIMATE budget gaming setup for everyone interested. This is the secret of all the PC industry that can make it mainstream right this second.
@apache tyson my new psu is even little bit slimmer (regular size), two of the four mounting wholes fit - both other can be used too, just not threw the case wholes. everything holds properly but you're able to look into a small gap below at the back cause of the size difference
hey i bought one of these cables for a motherboard of a hp 6000 pro small so that the 4 cables the colors are brown blue yellow and gray there the power led lights the colers turn on, but the motherboard does not show the video nor the keyboard lights you would have the electrical diagram of the adapter cable
You know what you can do is put your hard drive in the 2nd hard drive spot and if you don’t know where is under the DVD player and you see there’s a free slot and then put your hard drive in there but first take out your screw drivers trust nothing will happens to your hard drive 2nd remove the DVD player slot and then put the hard drive in there and put your psu were the hard drive use to be If your psu is tiny and can’t fit in the case
Ok, i had a BIG problem. This cord is great, but the cords not the problem. i have a Hp Compaq 6200 pro SFF, and i'm getting a new graphics card. However, my PC has a 240 PSU and as you probably know cant be swapped with another one without this cable. But i still need to know how to fit it in my case! I've already moved the Hard drive to make room for it, but i still cant find one that will fit well, and supply the watts i need (500). Please tell me how i can do this, and what PSU I should use.
Baneofcreepers and Puppyprincess Videos ok the motherboard in that case was built for that case it's a weird shape such as a regular motherboard has the io ports at the side and that has it at the back so you won't be able to put it into a different case but this is what I did I made a bench test and it's very easy to make (if you have the tools) or if you can't make one you can buy one the cheapest one I know is one made by cool master but I made my own out of a old PC case or you can't use wood there are lots of ways to build one if you search on RUclips how to build a test beach you will find a Linustechtips video and they got a old PC case and scraped it just like I did and there are many more or as I said earlier you can just buy one do a bit of research on google and you will find lots of results
Baneofcreepers and Puppyprincess Videos and the psu I recommend is a EVGA 500w psu here is a link to buying it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EVGA-500-500W-Gaming-PC-PSU-Power-Supply-80-Plus-Rated-120mm-Fan-/141895284758?hash=item21099e3816:m:mKf0PjRnQTsse4Cc19U5_-Q
SO what this cable does is it basically allows you to upgrade a proprietary add pc power supply to a standard atx psu? I would really like do do that. Can someone plz let me know if this is correct
I have a PC HP COMPAQ PRO 6300 MT with 320w Can I upgrade to a psu via this transfer cable? Because I want to use a vga card with higher power consumption. thank you very much! Looking forward to help.
I would upgrade the psu for my hp 8200 elite sff, but doing so would mean having the psu and all the cables outside the case since it wont fit in the sff case, which is very inconvenient.
good vid bro I could not find crap on google on that cable being compatible!!they say its only good for the hp z series pcs....and needs to be moved over 2 pins on the P2 connector?but now I see it will work thanks bra!
Kudoi I’m unsure if wha you mean by this comment but the premise of the video is very simple by just getting the adapter cable and directly plugging into the mobo then getting a normal psu you are able to now plug in that psu because u now have access to a 24 pin connector
brother just tell me how did you power the 4 pin cpu supply? that adapter has only 2 outputs so how that cpu 4 pin you connected please help me i want to upgrade my 8000 sff psu
LuneShine the cable should work no problem if you want to see the creator of the cable video he uses a hp 8200 and I worked fine thx for asking questions
That was what I was wondering as I got a z220 i7. And use a second PSU for a rx580 8gb. This method means I can just pull out the old one and slap my whole bank of z220 in a rack with wall mounted PSU.
Hey thanks for the great video dude ! I have ordered the same cable you have from the same guy :) I still have to buy the psu I have an hp 8300 sff i7 3370. I would really need your advice regarding which psu model you are using or suggest. I want to be sure that will fit you know ? Thanks a lot in advance :)
Could you please tell me which PSU Model and Brand are you fitting in the case ? I have an HP 8300 i7 3370 and I want to be sure I buy a PSU that fits in the case. I need it for my new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6G. I want to order the PSU asap. I wait for your answer man :)
i used a EVGA 500w psu here is a link to buying it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EVGA-500-500W-Gaming-PC-PSU-Power-Supply-80-Plus-Rated-120mm-Fan-/141895284758?hash=item21099e3816:m:mKf0PjRnQTsse4Cc19U5_-Q
ty for reply i was wondering if i could use 2 psus on 1 system ( use my old psu so power the motherboard AND the newer psu for the cpu and gpu .. you think it will work ?
Yo, good video man, but I ordered this cable but I get 4 beeps on my hp elite 8300 sff and my fans spin even when the computer is not turned on just plugged in the Psu. I wanted to know if you know what the problem is the psu or the cable. I matched the current stats of my Psu and your Psu they have the same specs does that mean the cable is faulty?
Kristijan Ristov throes are for putting in you hard drive or ssd aka you get a 4 pin and that can go into any of 2 black 4 pin ports and that gives you 4 sata power leads it's like an adapter
Did you also replace the HP PSU with the EVGA one ? Because in the video you are not showing how to put it in the case and how to remove the original HP crappy PSU that's why I am asking :) I will receive all the material tomorrow or the day after tomorrow: Graphic card, the adapter power cable and the EVGA 600w PSU. I am honestly a bit concerned about fitting it in the case of the 8300 SFF. If you did it dude could you please tell me if you managed to fit the EVGA in ? Thanks again !
Francesco fazio if it's a 8300 you will be fine if your still concerned check out the person who made the cable video he used a hp 8300 also the motherboard in the hp 6000 pro it has a special type of motherboard shape so I made it into a test bench so I can use that psu
So you did not take the old one out and replace it with the new one in the case right ? I mean I would not mind to use it like test bench external even though I would really prefer to be able to close the case and forget about the new PSU. I mean it does not fit inside correct ?
Francesco fazio no what I mean is the PC case that comes with the hp 6000 pro Sff is too small to fit the new psu so I made a beach to put it together but because you have a bigger case than me you can just replace yours
Francesco fazio btw check out ruclips.net/video/0VCslFs6lW0/видео.html he has the same case that you have and he replaced the default psu with a different psu
yes. It fits the HP 6000 series. You just need to rearrange the wires in the P2 deck. In this order: 1 black, 2 green, 3 red, 4 white. For HP6305, I took just such an adapter. aliexpress.ru/item/32954682423.html?spm=a2g2w.detail.1000060.2.12b76823RpTdBS&gps-id=aerPdpSubstituteRcmd&scm
Hey, nice video. I've heard that using something meant for a Z200 series or 8000 series on a 6000 series can destroy your motherboard/CPU because HP changed the pinouts (basically turned the connector upside down) on the motherboard power connectors. can anyone verify this is true?
Just sorted out my problem. The Enermax Infiniti 650 does not work with the cable. Have since changed to a CoolerMaster 800 and it is working flawlessly since. Just to update for those intending to try the cable : not all PSU can work with the cable. Cable itself is compatible with the 8300, in my case at least. Just another update for those who maybe interested to know that Fractal Design Integra M Series PSU are also compatible with this cable.
Well, he has not sold any cables since November 2016. All the diagrams are online. I myself is confused about one item. The flat 6 pin connector is called an aux power cable connector, but in this case it is not what it is used for. In this case it is used for a fan control, and to turn on/off the power supply, and if power is good. That is two pin right there. The confusing part is the other two pins. One is for fan speed, and the other is fan command? I do not see such pinouts on an ATX 24 pin diagram.
Console,, You should seriously think about getting a tripod and a pair of needle nose pliers to pull those plugs.. You're just making it harder for yourself and the computer.. you got some real shaky shaky videos, it's hard to follow..
Console, Much better , thank You.. I have an 8000 elite sff. I fried my power supply by putting in a Graphics card that sucked too much power.. Do you know where to get a power supply that will fit inside the case and close the top ??
Bret Ciesielski he must have a bad power supply I've never came across that before or even heard of it before but I'm 99.999999% of happening if you know what kind of power supply he has please label it thanks
UnlawfulWaffle8 no most Atx power supply's always has a 4-pin connecter and it says cpu on it. There is no need for a adapter if you have a mother board they has 8 pin connector for the cpu (most motherboards dont) there is a second 4 pin connector on the psu cables. The psu - power supply I used is a EVGA 500w psu and it's about £40 online and here is a picture to show you how the cpu connector plugs into the board and to show there is no adapter needed www.imgur.com/a/XT7PN Thank you for asking a question
you can use the adapter on that model the person who sells the cable is Sotiris Demetriou and here is his video ruclips.net/video/0VCslFs6lW0/видео.html he did it with a hp elite 8000 btw if you have a hp 8000 or 6000 or what ever there should not be a 24 pin connector because hp made a custom psu and psu socket on the motherboard but this adapter converts the 6 pin connector and the other connector sorry idk what the name is but there is 2 connectors it converts it into a 24 pin so you can use a standard atx power supply thx for commenting
Hi , I have an hp 8200 CMT And i want to know if that motherboard will be fine with this case www.pcgamercasa.ma/144-thickbox_default/asrock-h61m-dgs-r20-cartemere-pcgamercasa-maroc.jpg

Really appreciate this write up, and I know it's old but I need help. I have an issue with my HP 6300 SFF where it will begin to boot, but promptly shut off.

Read all the comments under this adapter. Different models have quite different connection.
You are a true bro!
Thank you for taking so much time to reply.. Can you make a video to demonstrate hte things which you mentioned ? It would be very helpful...
I used this for the HP 800 g1 TWR, and hp elite 8300 cmt. I got my adapter on Amazon. It had the black red yellow and green wires. I put the black wire in pin 6. Red in 5. Yellow in 4. Green in three. I kept getting the four beep error. After about three hours and nearly destroying the machine with a hammer I realized I forgot to plug in the cpu power cable from the new psu to the motherboard!!! I'm glad it worked out and for any one reading this in future these two models work with the pin arrangement I just listed but don't forget the cpu power!
Hola Jose, donde ves enumerados los pines? Tengo el mismo que compré por internet pero no funciona y creo que es por lo que comentas.Gracias!
Vic Bcn No tinenen numero. Cuentalos tu. El #6 es el de la izquierda cuando lo ves con el lado liso hacia arriba. No se te olvide connectar el cable de poder del CPU. Total son tres differentes cables que tinenen que estar connectados. El que modificaste. El que esta enseguida de ese. Y el que estra arriba enseguida del processador

knowing you can convert small form factor $40 office pcs to now use non-proprietary universal power supply through the use of an adapter cable, thus non-mini sized gpus can get powered makes gaming on a $40 computer with your own power supply, and gpu the ULTIMATE budget gaming setup for everyone interested. This is the secret of all the PC industry that can make it mainstream right this second.
Love your camera work and your cat.
Is it possible to put the PSU inside that case or do you need a new one?
@apache tyson my new psu is even little bit slimmer (regular size), two of the four mounting wholes fit - both other can be used too, just not threw the case wholes. everything holds properly but you're able to look into a small gap below at the back cause of the size difference
hey i bought one of these cables for a motherboard of a hp 6000 pro small so that the 4 cables the colors are brown blue yellow and gray there the power led lights the colers turn on, but the motherboard does not show the video nor the keyboard lights you would have the electrical diagram of the adapter cable
You know what you can do is put your hard drive in the 2nd hard drive spot and if you don’t know where is under the DVD player and you see there’s a free slot and then put your hard drive in there but first take out your screw drivers trust nothing will happens to your hard drive 2nd remove the DVD player slot and then put the hard drive in there and put your psu were the hard drive use to be
If your psu is tiny and can’t fit in the case
and you have a pop-up bios error 515 when you turn on the computer, no matter how you connect these pins?
Ok, i had a BIG problem. This cord is great, but the cords not the problem. i have a Hp Compaq 6200 pro SFF, and i'm getting a new graphics card. However, my PC has a 240 PSU and as you probably know cant be swapped with another one without this cable. But i still need to know how to fit it in my case! I've already moved the Hard drive to make room for it, but i still cant find one that will fit well, and supply the watts i need (500). Please tell me how i can do this, and what PSU I should use.
Baneofcreepers and Puppyprincess Videos ok the motherboard in that case was built for that case it's a weird shape such as a regular motherboard has the io ports at the side and that has it at the back so you won't be able to put it into a different case but this is what I did I made a bench test and it's very easy to make (if you have the tools) or if you can't make one you can buy one the cheapest one I know is one made by cool master but I made my own out of a old PC case or you can't use wood there are lots of ways to build one if you search on RUclips how to build a test beach you will find a Linustechtips video and they got a old PC case and scraped it just like I did and there are many more or as I said earlier you can just buy one do a bit of research on google and you will find lots of results
Baneofcreepers and Puppyprincess Videos and the psu I recommend is a EVGA 500w psu here is a link to buying it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EVGA-500-500W-Gaming-PC-PSU-Power-Supply-80-Plus-Rated-120mm-Fan-/141895284758?hash=item21099e3816:m:mKf0PjRnQTsse4Cc19U5_-Q
Could you show a picture of the end product ( the new ATX PSU in the case)?
Its pretty tight in there, its 10x10x15 cm...
Thanks
SO what this cable does is it basically allows you to upgrade a proprietary add pc power supply to a standard atx psu? I would really like do do that. Can someone plz let me know if this is correct
I have a PC HP COMPAQ PRO 6300 MT with 320w
Can I upgrade to a psu via this transfer cable? Because I want to use a vga card with higher power consumption.
thank you very much!
Looking forward to help.
Yes you can
Please tell me can i attach hp pro 6300???
So basically we just need the 24 pin cable and ignore the others
You are a best camera men in the world.Buy a stand !!!!!!!!!
For the HP6000 series, such an adapter is not suitable. It is necessary to change the location of the wires in the pad P2
I tried this but fans spin , no led lights at the two front were the audio is and a green light on motherboard no display.
I would upgrade the psu for my hp 8200 elite sff, but doing so would mean having the psu and all the cables outside the case since it wont fit in the sff case, which is very inconvenient.
Try to find a 6 pin psu for sff pc you may e can find one
good vid bro I could not find crap on google on that cable being compatible!!they say its only good for the hp z series pcs....and needs to be moved over 2 pins on the P2 connector?but now I see it will work thanks bra!
tks for video. Can i use your method in video for my hp comquad dc7900 ??? Pls answer me
i have hp 8300 tower.sam processes but not luck.can you help me please?
it has a 6 pin connection and a 5 pin connector in front of that and one going for cpu
how will you test the 6 pin power supply manually using paper clip
Kudoi I’m unsure if wha you mean by this comment but the premise of the video is very simple by just getting the adapter cable and directly plugging into the mobo then getting a normal psu you are able to now plug in that psu because u now have access to a 24 pin connector
You only need to take out the power cable
not much point in doing that and dangerous would be fine if you had a way of installing the hole power supply inside the case
will it work with hp 6300mt? bcuz both have same psu i believe
Work with hp compaq pro 6305 mt?
brother just tell me how did you power the 4 pin cpu supply? that adapter has only 2 outputs so how that cpu 4 pin you connected please help me i want to upgrade my 8000 sff psu
el de 4 lo tienen todas las fuentes normales
does it work with hp 6200 pro sff ??
help me, i do not know how to reset the connector
Hello, thanks for the video. Do you think it will work for HP8000?
Personally I believe so, there is no much difference, just more space.
LuneShine is it the tower version or the small form factor version???
Investigation shows that it is actually 8200 Tower. I guess it should work. Does cable includes voltage step up converter? Thanks you so much!
LuneShine the cable should work no problem if you want to see the creator of the cable video he uses a hp 8200 and I worked fine thx for asking questions
can I upgrade my hp sff psu with a new one?? is it worth?
hi, nice video and cat.. how's this rig holding up?
Do you connect the hard drive and the CD drive to the new power supply, or do you keep them connected to the motherboard. i have the elite 8100
Bret Ciesielski no you connect the saga power from the psu to the hard drive keep e Santa data cable in the hard drive though
Bret Ciesielski I showed it at 4:00
That was what I was wondering as I got a z220 i7. And use a second PSU for a rx580 8gb. This method means I can just pull out the old one and slap my whole bank of z220 in a rack with wall mounted PSU.
Does its still works? Or is it safe?
Hey thanks for the great video dude ! I have ordered the same cable you have from the same guy :) I still have to buy the psu I have an hp 8300 sff i7 3370. I would really need your advice regarding which psu model you are using or suggest. I want to be sure that will fit you know ? Thanks a lot in advance :)
thanks for watching my video and getting inspired to buy it hope this cable helps you :)
Could you please tell me which PSU Model and Brand are you fitting in the case ? I have an HP 8300 i7 3370 and I want to be sure I buy a PSU that fits in the case. I need it for my new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6G. I want to order the PSU asap. I wait for your answer man :)
i used a EVGA 500w psu here is a link to buying it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EVGA-500-500W-Gaming-PC-PSU-Power-Supply-80-Plus-Rated-120mm-Fan-/141895284758?hash=item21099e3816:m:mKf0PjRnQTsse4Cc19U5_-Q
Thanks a million !
no problem if you have any problems please let me know :)
Yeah but whats the song
hello i have an hp elite sff 8000 with a core 2 duo im planning on changing psu will using this work ??
Nexes Play it should go to my newest video to see more details about the adaptor
ty for reply i was wondering if i could use 2 psus on 1 system ( use my old psu so power the motherboard AND the newer psu for the cpu and gpu .. you think it will work ?
Love the cat 😊
Yo, good video man, but I ordered this cable but I get 4 beeps on my hp elite 8300 sff and my fans spin even when the computer is not turned on just plugged in the Psu. I wanted to know if you know what the problem is the psu or the cable. I matched the current stats of my Psu and your Psu they have the same specs does that mean the cable is faulty?
Ali Ahsan did you solved it ?
Yeah I did
It was easy just needed to repin
Ali Ahsan i try like you said but didnt work could you explain it better ? i mean should i repin in 24 atx ?
Yeah so your suppose to repin the 6 pin connector not the 24 pin and tell me what kind pc u have?
i have the hp compact 6005 pro would i be able to get the adapter so i can get a bigger power supply
yes. It is necessary to change the location of the wires in the pad P2.
Is it possible to get the new PSU to fit inside of the case? seems a bit in the way with everything hanging around.
There Are 2 extra 4 pin connectors just like the cpu one but those are black what happens with those
Kristijan Ristov throes are for putting in you hard drive or ssd aka you get a 4 pin and that can go into any of 2 black 4 pin ports and that gives you 4 sata power leads it's like an adapter
Thx for the video, i let u a message about it
The adapter didn’t work with AMD motherboards,sounds 4 beeps ,only with intel working
You need to touch the metal part of the case instead
work it on hp prodesk 600 G2 MT?
funcionara para HP pro 6300 / will work for HP pro 6300
Did you also replace the HP PSU with the EVGA one ? Because in the video you are not showing how to put it in the case and how to remove the original HP crappy PSU that's why I am asking :)
I will receive all the material tomorrow or the day after tomorrow: Graphic card, the adapter power cable and the EVGA 600w PSU. I am honestly a bit concerned about fitting it in the case of the 8300 SFF. If you did it dude could you please tell me if you managed to fit the EVGA in ?
Thanks again !
Francesco fazio if it's a 8300 you will be fine if your still concerned check out the person who made the cable video he used a hp 8300 also the motherboard in the hp 6000 pro it has a special type of motherboard shape so I made it into a test bench so I can use that psu
So you did not take the old one out and replace it with the new one in the case right ? I mean I would not mind to use it like test bench external even though I would really prefer to be able to close the case and forget about the new PSU. I mean it does not fit inside correct ?
Francesco fazio no what I mean is the PC case that comes with the hp 6000 pro Sff is too small to fit the new psu so I made a beach to put it together but because you have a bigger case than me you can just replace yours
Awesome. Just great :) Thanks dude a lot !
Francesco fazio btw check out ruclips.net/video/0VCslFs6lW0/видео.html he has the same case that you have and he replaced the default psu with a different psu
I bought this adapter today and it gave 4 bips problem, do you know how to solve this
greetings from Brazil!
Can it be use for the hp compaq pro 6300 tower
yes. It fits the HP 6000 series. You just need to rearrange the wires in the P2 deck. In this order: 1 black, 2 green, 3 red, 4 white. For HP6305, I took just such an adapter. aliexpress.ru/item/32954682423.html?spm=a2g2w.detail.1000060.2.12b76823RpTdBS&gps-id=aerPdpSubstituteRcmd&scm

Terrible camera movement. Could not finish watching for fear of throwing up. There is no need of the extreme movement...
Hey, nice video. I've heard that using something meant for a Z200 series or 8000 series on a 6000 series can destroy your motherboard/CPU because HP changed the pinouts (basically turned the connector upside down) on the motherboard power connectors. can anyone verify this is true?
hi, have you tested it? I have an HP 6300 Pro Microtower and HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF I was wondering if this method could possibly work out.
I bought the adapter but it gives me beeps and red light ...
En la hp 6200 pro
can you tell me,what kind of psu your using?
JEFF !!! Which one the one is the PC or the new psu I plugged into it
the new one
JEFF !!! That's called "EVGA 500w psu" just search it on amazon or eBay
For hp Compaq 8300 elite sff?
Just sorted out my problem. The Enermax Infiniti 650 does not work with the cable. Have since changed to a CoolerMaster 800 and it is working flawlessly since. Just to update for those intending to try the cable : not all PSU can work with the cable. Cable itself is compatible with the 8300, in my case at least.
Just another update for those who maybe interested to know that Fractal Design Integra M Series PSU are also compatible with this cable.
this adapter is compatible with elitedesk800?
YEA I HAVE ON with my elitdesk 800

Help hp prodesk 400 6g psu😔😔🙏🏻
Can you please send a wiring diagram or a normal photo so you can see how to connect?
Well, he has not sold any cables since November 2016. All the diagrams are online. I myself is confused about one item. The flat 6 pin connector is called an aux power cable connector, but in this case it is not what it is used for. In this case it is used for a fan control, and to turn on/off the power supply, and if power is good. That is two pin right there. The confusing part is the other two pins. One is for fan speed, and the other is fan command? I do not see such pinouts on an ATX 24 pin diagram.
Ali Express takes months to receive. I have already received one off eBay in the time since I first posted.
Console,, You should seriously think about getting a tripod and a pair of needle nose pliers to pull those plugs.. You're just making it harder for yourself and the computer.. you got some real shaky shaky videos, it's hard to follow..
ThomasTheSailor Chubby can you look at the new video I explain on how easy it is on that if ur finding it difficult to follow on this one
Console, Much better , thank You.. I have an 8000 elite sff. I fried my power supply by putting in a Graphics card that sucked too much power.. Do you know where to get a power supply that will fit inside the case and close the top ??
the link is broken for the psu cable
Zachary Schwanke look when I posted the video lmao. listings on eBay don’t last forever
InsertComplicatedNameHere so then if you make RUclips videos you should keep the links updated don’t you think?
@@zacharyschwanke7080 yeah ur right let me quit my job and spend all day updating my description because ill have way more free time to do so.
I bought a cord similiar to his, but it fried my cpu. Do you know of anything like that happening with this cord?
Bret Ciesielski he must have a bad power supply I've never came across that before or even heard of it before but I'm 99.999999% of happening if you know what kind of power supply he has please label it thanks
CONSOLE I was trying the 600w version of the power supply you have lol
Bret Ciesielski so a EVGA psu
Yeah
Bret Ciesielski can you provide some evidence such as pictures???
with out voice nothing :)))
error 515
did u need an adapter for the cpu connector?
UnlawfulWaffle8 no most Atx power supply's always has a 4-pin connecter and it says cpu on it. There is no need for a adapter if you have a mother board they has 8 pin connector for the cpu (most motherboards dont) there is a second 4 pin connector on the psu cables. The psu - power supply I used is a EVGA 500w psu and it's about £40 online and here is a picture to show you how the cpu connector plugs into the board and to show there is no adapter needed www.imgur.com/a/XT7PN Thank you for asking a question
Master Zef wow. Thanks!
UnlawfulWaffle8 no problem if you have any other questions to ask I would be happy to answer let me know
Master Zef hey can I do this on a hp 8000 elite? If not okay but thanks.
you can use the adapter on that model the person who sells the cable is Sotiris Demetriou and here is his video ruclips.net/video/0VCslFs6lW0/видео.html he did it with a hp elite 8000 btw if you have a hp 8000 or 6000 or what ever there should not be a 24 pin connector because hp made a custom psu and psu socket on the motherboard but this adapter converts the 6 pin connector and the other connector sorry idk what the name is but there is 2 connectors it converts it into a 24 pin so you can use a standard atx power supply thx for commenting
sale ended

Rike Shima what are you talking about, just plug the 5 pin into the socket on the board
the color sequence is wrong, I do not know the color sequence of the cord
Rike Shima it only goes in onen way, their should be two notches at both sides
the 5 pin cable is different from the original 5 pin psu cable
Rike Shima do you have discord? so I can help you out with ur situation
