Hello,
I own an old Lenovo S20 workstation with a 10-pin (2x5) ATX 12V power connection for the CPU and a separate "auxiliary" 4-pin (2x2) 12V supply. Recently, I purchased a BQ! Straight Power 11 650W PSU. During the purchase, I overlooked the CPU power connector, leaving me with what I had. Can I link a 4+4 pin cable from my PSU to the 10-pin EPS connector? Or is there a compatible dongle available? After searching, I couldn't find any options.

Details:
BQ! SP11 650W
GTX 580
8GB RAM
Xeon W3520

There are certain adapters available --

I don't have any personal experience with them.

Thank you for your reply. However, this adapter is intended for the motherboard power connector, not for the CPU. If I had used it, how would I be able to power the motherboard?

Hello, the same problem is occurring again. Have you successfully integrated the non-proprietary PSU?

I brought up a discussion from 202, four years back. Begin a new thread and keep in mind the time stamp on the one you join. + Don’t take over threads either.
