Converter
os:
Windows XPThis converter works well with the older psu with 20+4 pin out if you are fitting a newer type motherboard which has 24+4 pin socket like Asus K8V-VM mobo code 116474.
Saved buying a new PSU.
os:
Windows XPWorks well, but don't forget your PSU might need to provide a 4 pin supplemental supply as well(EATX12V).
great

Windows XPWorks great!

Great! Must Have!

Windows VistaThis absolutely is a life saver. I had a power supply with a 20 pin out so i plugged the 20 pin power adaptor on my power supply into this and then connected the 24 pin out into motherboard. Very cheap and very handy. Gives out power like a normal 24 pin psu would do. great product ebuyer!
Brilliant!

Windows XPThis converter does exactly what it says with no problems. Perfect if you dont have a 24pin PSU
GOOD BIT OF KIT! 20 PIN PSU TO 24 PIN MOTHERBOARD
os:
Not ApplicableThis is a good bit of kit.
Well worth the money. It's an intermediatory between an old 20 pin PSU and a newer 24 pin motherboard. Thats it!
I have bought 2 or 3 of them and they work realy well.
Pluging in a 20 pin connector to a 24 pin motherboard is not a good idea! They don't have 24 pins just for a giggle.
Just to make things CLEAR!!!
This converter is NOT for 24pin TO 20pin... it's if you have a PSU with 20pin connector and a motherboard with a 24pin slot AND it doesn't work if you just plug in the 20pin connector leaving 4 pins free(normally the "upper 4" on a normal ATX set-up).
In which case this cable will be useful. But if you have a PSU with a 24pin connector and a Motherboard with a 20pin slot, you have other options. Like someone said above, often you'll find that the extra (new) 4 pins can actually be detached from the other 20, allowing you to just plug in the 20pins, but there is also another option if you can't take off the extra 4 pins. If you motherboard allows it you can still plug in the 24pin connector, as long as the extra 4pins don't actually touch anything on the motherboard itself (YOU MUST MAKE SURE OF THAT FIRST) because the 24pin connector can actually fit on the 20pin slot without much any problems, but again I point out if the motherboard will allow it (by that I mean there is nothing sticking out next to the slot i.e transistors ect)
Hope that helps.
OHHH one last thing for people to remember, some (very few and mostly custom made boards for people like Dell and Compaq ect)will not work even with the converter, as these boards actually need the extra 12volts to be running instead of needing it if your have extra components. What I'm saying is... don't bother use this if your on a SLI set-up or thinking of one... go buy a new PSU (a quality one that is SLI ready) and don't expect it to work 100% with a Dell or Compaq or HP pc ect.
You may not need one!
I have an Antec power supply which only has the 20pin connecter and an Asus a8n32-sli motherboard which has a 24pin connecter. When I got my new motherboard I went a bought one of these cables and set up my comp as normal, worked fine. Then found out that in a lot of cases you don't need this adapter. Just plug your 20pin connecter into the 24pin socket and see if it works before you spend your money on something you may not need.
And????
Which way does this go then?
20psu--24mb
or 20mb--24psu
