Cables and Adapters --> Dilemmas
I'm a bit worried about the use of adapters of high-current supply. Those seem to be high-current supply:
* 24-pin ATX main power cable
* 4-pin CPU cable
* 8-pin CPU cable
* 6-pin PCI Express Cable
* 8-pin PCI Express Cable
My concerns are bold. If my power supply don't have those cables, what can I do? Can I still use adapters as workaround? What're the problems/disadvantages?
6/8-pin PCI Express Cable has three +12V wires. If I use 4 pin peripheral connector adapters, we use 2 peripheral to convert into PCI Express connector. But I only get two +12V wires in this way.
8-pin CPU cable. It has four +12V wires. If I use 4 pin peripheral connector adapters, we use 2 peripheral to convert. But again I only get two +12V wires in this way.
ATX 20+4 pin main power cable. I wonder if it's ok to use 20-pin power cable + 4 pin ATX +12 volt power cable (for CPU) to match the 24-pin requirement.
Thanks.
