![]() I want to stress again - those el-chipo PSUs work for thousands of people for many years (5-10 years without single issue), and most people here do not even realize one could buy PSU for more than $20-30 bucks if one is not a gamer.īTW, the Chieftec mentioned above, is highly rated by Russian media and HW labs, so I can easily understand the scepticism of poster, when he is being told that brand is low-quality. So one would assume cheap PSUs are frying mobos only in first-world countries, but work perfectly for the third-world.? That was always surprising me, that that is a fact ![]() They buy them in quantities for all the new PCs (used by office workers, developers and everybody else), use them for many years without a single issue. The interesting thing is - where I live, the most companies/offices are using cheapest quality Chinese PSUs bought at around $10-20. Then there was no point in this thread anyway. Then again it's his problem if he does decide to buy a bad psu against everyone's advice. In a best case scenario it will work for a while and die and not take anything with it but usually it damages or takes some components with it. One of the most common problems I need to fix are bad psu's (chieftec is often among them) that fried the pc because the user thought that 700w was enough yet those psu's couldn't handle said wattage as this was just a lie to get them sold and the pc got fried. Yet he keeps on insisting to use that psu or a diffrent form of the same psu. The problem is also that the best answer that got selected tells him that it's a very unsafe band aid solution to use a adapter for the pc and all the answers above it already told him that it's a garbage psu. The machine won't work without it and nor will it work properly if it is sub-standard. Most of us would agree that the PSU is the most important piece of equipment in a PC. Your actual problem is in insisting on a cheap PSU against a more expensive, higher quality model. If I wanted to say it is your problem, I would say "that's your problem". ![]() ![]() There's your propblem means that is where your problem lies and is a frequent quote from a well-known global TV programme. i was looking for an advice, and received an answer "your problem". I thought maybe it would be better to feed one part of 4pin on mobo with connector from psu, and the second part of remaining 4 pins can be feeded from molex adapter then? Issue there is that cpu 4+4 pins on mobo are mirrored, so I cannot take an adapter from molex, because it will fit only one side of pins (the same as connector from psu).Ĭhieftec is a HORRIBLE psu maker get that thing out and do not use a adapter what so ever. Can someone please confirm if those "4 Pin ATX & 4 Pin LP4 Molex to 8 Pin EPS" are still good idea? Unfortunatelly, I am not able to return mobo/psu to a shop. But I didnt run any games yet or did any heavy load, because videocard is still on its way. So I connected mobo with only 4 pin, and it works ok now. At this moment, mobo has 8pin connector, and my "new 2017 model psu" has only 4 pin connector. P.S.: You saved my life, i wouldn't think that there are adaptors like the ones you shown.įor some reasons, I bought Chieftec 500W GPE-500S (which was advised as new revision'17 model), but I didnt ever realized that it doesnt have 8pin cpu connector (as 600W model has). Will my CPU work with the 4-pin as it's intended? Btw I don't have to force the 4-pin, it fit's perfectly. Thanks a lot but I need a bit of clarification. The 8 pin is mainly for high powered systems, however, some are wired to only work with an 8 pins EPS connector, so you may have to pick up the adaptor cable quite quickly, your 4 pin connector will only fit into one side of the 8 pin plug, if it doesnt go in easily, dont force it, you've probably got the wrong side. It will be fine for now, but I recommend you get something like this for the near future: Does my CPU get enough power with this 4-pin or I have to buy an other PSU? So the problem is that my PSU has one 4-pin connector and on my Mobo is a 8-pin CPU connector.
