24 Pin to 8-Pin Power Supply ATX PSU Adapter Cable for DELL Motherboards

This (24 Pin to 8-Pin Power Supply Adapter) allowed me to salvage a damaged Dell OptiPlex SFF computer. The case was brought to me crushed, the only thing that looked good was the SSD drive and motherboard. A transplant to ATX case (did not have another Dell SFF case or could I get one without purchasing a complete system) that the board would fit in, with it's odd front panel board was hard enough. But got an older ATX case ($10) with modular mounts for drive cages so was able to move the upper drive cages down, with some modification was able to get the motherboard to fit. Now the not so good, proprietary connector for power on the motherboard, and since the original power supply was destroyed and a replacement from Dell would not fit in this ATX case, went searching for a solution and I found this (24 Pin to 8-Pin Power Supply Adapter) on Amazon (seem allot of people have had this issue), well this allowed me to add a ATX power supply (650Watts) which made my client happy because now the client could upgrade the video card and add additional item so that the client could get more bang for their buck, now the client could try gaming, video capture and video editing, and since the only proprietary thing left was the motherboard, if the client wanted to upgrade the client could now, without having a proprietary case and power supply. A cheaper way to go than buying another proprietary Dell system. The (24 Pin to 8-Pin Power Supply Adapter) allows you to use a standard 24 PIN power connector to the DELL 8 PIN connector. It still allows you to use the power connector on the motherboard for devices (if you like). This cost very little, the transplant from the crushed case to the ATX case with power supply in all was $60 and used Dell OptiPlex with and I7 and 16GB ram is average $200. Client was able to add a 1650 4GB Video Card for $140 making the total $200. Same a buying a used Dell, but better video, better power supply and most important, upgrade-able

Fantastic. It saved me!I had bought a beefier power supply for my Dell Precision 3620 desktop to handle a better video card and some other add-ons. But lo and behold - Dell did not have the standard power connectors on the motherboard, sneaky devils. One connector was missing (there was a location for it on the motherboard, but it was not populated!)After reading through many web articles on Dell MB's and power, I found a description of an adapter, just like this one. Bought it, plugged it in - computer booted! Happy... Nice work, whoever came up with it.

Product showed up as an exact match and did exactly as intended. Have been running my Dell precision with a 700w aftermarket PSU using this with no issues so far. Was one of the only products I was able to find to solve my problem with an 8-pin proprietary connector. Both plugs matched up perfectly fine and I dont even notice it's there which means it's doing its job. Overall super happy with this product as I cannot run my PC in it's current configuration without it. Price wasnt the best with shipping but given its lack of other options it makes sense, and given the price of a PC build it's nothing to worry about.

I used this in my Optiplex 9020 PC. I've had no issues with it at all for about a year now. It works as intended.

I am using the on a Dell optiplex 7060 - a bit older model. when I connect all the plugs from the psu I got a steady blinking light. I removed the 4 part of the 20 + 4 going to the board it will have a steady red light and the PSU fans starts. while powered with the 20 pin part I connected the 4 pin and the PC started to boot without pushing the power switch. this happens everytime I connect power to the board

DHL is a miserable company to ship to Ecuador with.

I ordered a total of 3 of these. All 3 were incorrect and unusable in the same way.I attached 3 images to illustrate the issue. One image shows the 3 incorrect 8-pin connectors. One image shows what the Amazon website pictured (which would have mated with the motherboard power connector). One image shows the motherboard power connector with which the 8-pin connector on the adapter must mate (i.e. the picture of the white connector on a printed circuit board).Note how the Amazon website picture showed the 8-pin motherboard connector consisting of 8 individual black plastic pin shrouds. None of the pin shrouds were fused together on the product pictured on the Amazon website.The 8-pin connectors that were installed on all 3 of the adapters I received had pins 7 & 8 bridged by a solid plastic piece. There was simply no way to mate the 8-pin connectors on the adapters with the motherboard power connector because that solid plastic bridge between pins 7 & 8 on the adapter connector interferes with the plastic body of the motherboard connector.In addition, the shapes of many of the 8-pin plastic shrouds on the adapters I received were incorrect. If you look closely, some of the black plastic pin shrouds are square, and some have 2 tapered corners. So even if pins 7 & 8 had not been bridged by a piece of solid plastic, the pin shroud shapes on the adapter connectors would not have fit in the motherboard power connector.As near as I can tell, this doesn’t look like a connector defect, per-se. The bridge between pins 7 & 8 doesn’t look like a plastic molding issue; it looks like this was just how the connector they used was made. The shapes of the pin shrouds also didn’t seem to be a defect. It just seems like the wrong connector part number was used.After I looked more carefully at other reviews, I see a number of other folks found the exact same issue. So maybe some of these ship with the correct 8-pin connector, and some ship with the wrong one?In any event, this was a waste of time for me. I returned them all.
