Need assistance with a 7 pin PWRCMD using a new PSU that has 24 pins.
Hello! I just received a new power supply for my computer and checked the box—it has a 24-pin connector meant for the motherboard. However, my motherboard only has a seven-pin slot labeled pwrcmd. I searched online for 24-pin to 7-pin connectors but found only 24-pin to six-pin options. Should I need a different motherboard or a power supply with a compatible plug? Thanks!
I'm assuming this is an HP motherboard? Adapters exist, but they're likely labelled 8pin rather than 7 - if there's 7 pins, it'll still be within a "block" of 8 (4 bottom, 3 top or vice-versa), but one of the connectors/pins will be blank.
Potentially the "to 6 pin" adapters may work, if the 7th pin is ground. Would need more info on the PC/Motherboard specifically.
Please specify the exact motherboard model and brand, if you'd like.
This tutorial proved helpful for me, and I plan to apply it to my HP 595-p00xx model.
