24pin to 20pin ATX adapter

[focusdchaos]

Anyone know where I can find an adapter to go from a 24pin power supply to a 20pin motherboard ATX connector?

I bought a case, and the PS is 24pin, and all my boards require 20pin.

I have only heard of one adapter and it apparently was made in asia.

Rather than trying to find some questionable quality adapter, why not just buy a good ATX PS.

end of problem.

Because 2U PowerSupplys are NOT cheap

If that's a 24-pin "EATX" connector, then the extra four pins are just more copies of 3.3, 5, 12V and Ground. If you can fit it that way, just align pin-1 and leave the extra four hanging in the air.

I believe you can get by without connecting the extra pins.

Buy a cheap ATX PS then. $20-30 cdn is isn't expensive.

When I was faced with the same dilemma I bought a cheap ATX PS. Its only an AT board. Its not going to require a 400 watt TruePower PS.
