I bought this HP 8200 SFF case with RAM, mobo and a CPU inside, and i want to move all of that into the new custom case, but the only problem is the motherboard power connectors. Its not 24 pin or 20 pin, and i honestly dont know how to connect this thing to work.
Can somebody please explain to me what adapter i need to purchase so i can use the regular 24pin PSU on this motherboard? Thanks

Also, I apologize if i shouldn't post this in this board.
This is the pic of the motherboard i took not while ago. Sorry for the bad quality, i resized the pic.
Looks like you will need something like this. On the first pic, there is a 6 pin connector (white thingy) on the botton left below the other 6 pin connector. I don't know if this would work but it's worth a shot.

OP, why did you come here to ask for computer help? come to /g/
/adv/ is for nerds that don't know how to talk to women. i come here to laugh at them

But if it fails, won't that fry the whole motherboard, and everything attached to it?

Im sorry, i can give you some laughing material if you would like.

OP here again, sorry for bothering you. It confuses me how these 2 6pin connectors are able to power the whole motherboard with CPU and other stuff included, and regular ATX motherboards need the 24 pin one. I hope i made myself clear, thanks.

No need to be sorry. Man the fuck up, OP. But I don't understand it either, but this motherboard was built for a specific type of Power Supply and that's the only adapter I could find so you can either get a new power supply or use the adapter. Your choice.

I'll go with the adapter, thanks man
