    [SOLVED] Powering a newer 24-pin motherboard with an old 240w PSU? Any adapter?

    Something around a Z270/Z370, haven't decided which one to use yet. I already own them so I'd prefer to use what I already have. I even have a B85 I would use if I could use this PSU.

    [SOLVED] Powering a newer 24-pin motherboard with an old 240w PSU? Any adapter?

    Hi there, I'm looking to power a motherboard and pentium CPU with 4gb of ram that runs off a USB operating system. Extremely low power consumption should make it easy to power and I was wondering if I could use an old 240w PSU from an HP RP5800. It can be found here...

    [SOLVED] Is intel 3rd gen compatible with 2nd gen socket?

    Weird how I couldn't spot that. I was assuming that page of CPU's was just what they sold in the computer at the time of release. Thanks for your help!

    Question Getting a safe power strip for multiple 240w PSU's?

    I just want to make sure that nothing catches fire. Are all power bars able to pass along more than enough electricity until my breaker trips? Surge protection is kind of the least of my concerns, I can always unplug them when im not home or during a storm.

    Question Getting a safe power strip for multiple 240w PSU's?

    Hi folks, I think this is the correct location to post (sorry if it's not) so here goes. I have a project i'm working on that I won't go into detail about but we will consider it a networking project for this so it's easier to understand. I have 6 computers that have 240w PSU's but draw 180...

    M.2 SSD compatible with SLI?

    The motherboard says SLI ready on it so I'm pretty sure it can do SLI lol, my last Z270E is running SLI fine right now

    M.2 SSD compatible with SLI?

    I am pretty clueless with these new M.2 drives despite my love for building computers and learning everything I can about newer hardware. I heard that SLI can interfere with M.2 SSD's or maybe it was the other way around but I wanted to make sure before I buy one. I recently upgraded my 7700k...

    i7-9700k maxium AIO overclocking paste?

    I've been reading through dozens of threads about thermal paste being pre-applied or applying your own and it all seems to be that pre-applied is fine but i'm not finding much on overclocking with it and the differences. I have arctic silver 5 from my last build leftover and I ordered the...

    Can I use a power adapter with lower amps than my original charger temporarily?

    I suppose it's a power supply, it's a big metal rectangle box that plugs into the wall and into the battery. The charger has its own fan as well.
