Working on my home PC and want to install accessories with out having a secondary PSU hanging out to the side. This video is EVERYTHING I need and more! Thank you very much for explaining how the jumper harness overcomes the missing 12V supply from 24 to 14 and showing how to remove pins from the harnesses, I had already started splicing wires and it was getting messy 😅
I know hella nothing about this stuff but i love to learn so i appreciate the tutorial! My son is 11 and already can take apart every fricking piece of technology and tell you everythings you need to know about it,wich alwais alwais blow my mind,thanks Tavis!
i was technically looking for 14 to 24 pin rather than 24 to 14 pin but it still answered my question, from what i understand it is fine to simply combine or split certain wires if you need them on one end, like the 12v power for example
You want to use a 14 pin power supply on a 24 pin motherboard? I'm not sure where you'll get the -5 volts or the multiple 3.3 volts. You'll also need to make sure the PSU supplies enough Watts to do the job, or the computer will just shut off because it's consuming more power than the PSU can provide. 24 pin to 14 pin starts with more power than is needed, and we simply don't use the extra power and extra wires. 14 pin to 24 pin starts with not enough power and wires. Even if you add wires, it won't work if the PSU isn't making enough power.
i do find that strange as well, but i think they have a different pinout to account for that, the Enhance ENP-7660L-OVT power specifies that it has a 14 to 24 pin cable so im not sure how they did that otherwise
Likely, you could also just have taken one of the spare 6 pin modular cables and used one of the 12V wires/pins off it... Should check with the continuity tester that it is really from the same rail, though.
I first need to thank you. Not a lot of guides on this lenovo thinkcentre E73 .Would MSI MAG A650BN psu fit in this case and aligned with the holes of psu?
I am having a huge headache with my Acer AT306. It has the exact same PS called FSP300. It is whole mess to find out how to check it out, include the mother board
Just found out this FSP300 has different wire arrangement. Shorting green and black indeed turns on the fan, but just for a few seconds. It has no switch. Thanks again!
That would be more difficult. I've seen people use a precision screwdriver as a pin removal tool, but it's more likely to bend the terminals out of shape because it's not the proper tool. Instead of removing the wires, you could cut them and then splice them back together in the correct locations, but this is also more difficult and introduces risk of a bad connection and future corrosion/resistance at the splice, so I don't recommend it. Cutting and splicing the wires would work, but it just isn't the correct way to do things. The pin removal tool that I used in the video cost a few dollars at the local auto parts store. Having the proper tool is a good investment if you're going to be doing work like this.

Yes, you can use other connections on the power supply to power other things like a graphics card. Yes, this 24 pin ATX diagram is the industry standard pin out diagram. This enables all the different companies to design products which can be powered by the PSU made by any other company.
Not working the white wire 5 voltage has same reverse current supply. In my case it's not working. As you shown all pin voltage are same correct. My PC is Lenovo ThinkCenter pls help
My 14 pin connector didn't use the white wire at all. If you need a wire with negative 5 volts, look at the diagram 39:00 into the video. The white wire on the 24 pin connector is -5 volts.
Thanks for replying You have made an excellent knowledge base helpful video. Is there any volte converter small kit in your adapter underneath the black coating. Just asking..

Perfect information. Thank you for your video
Now that’s magic :)

Good thinking, yep, that should work.

Can this work for the m6600t? It also uses a 14pin
I'm not familiar with the m6600t, but if it's 14 pin and the wire colors are the same as what's shown on my 14 pin diagram, it should work.
Can I do this without the pin removal tool😢
That would be more difficult.

@@TavisKingsChannel what if I just cut of the old 14 pin connector and solder it to the 24 pin psu

@@TavisKingsChannel thank you
Can I do this and still use the power supply for a graphic card? And the diagram for the 24pin is that a standard for any 24pin power supply?
Yes, you can use other connections on the power supply to power other things like a graphics card.

@@TavisKingsChannel Thanks. Where I am i have to wait months to get a 24-14 pin connector, so this will be helpful

The wiring adapter I purchased only has wires, no volt converter.
Useful information indeed, thanks 🙏
