Hi, i have hp prodesk 600 g1 twr, and my psu is extremely old and trash keeps rebooting my system down while doing any load on the gpu
my build:
CPU: i7 4770 3.40ghz
Ram: 8 gb ram ddr3,
GPU: Evga sc gtx 1060 6gb
so im going to get the SeaSonic S12ii 520w 80 plus bronze, so my motherboard doesn't support the 24 pin main power connector it supports the 6 pin and 4 pin main power connectors
will the 24 pin to 6 pin adapter solve this problem?
 
Solution
24pin is using 22awg wires, which should be rated for 8ampers @ 12volts
there are two 12volts wires
psu cable lenght matters, should u use extension (to make cable longer), u cant use same ampers, or voltage will drop, so u can count like 7A per wire
which gives u like 14A on 12V, that would be 168watts
~75watts pcie gpu
~45watts ram
~5watts PCH
not much left for CPU

sure u can exceed 14A, but if it melts or u have stability issues...it purely your own fault

+ u replacing it with another trash PSU
its on tier D

there may be salvtion to this, u can use powered PCIE riser , this will give u enough ampers for your GPU to keep it stable without replacing mainboard...
nope, u need either PSU from HP or another normal mainboard
but i guess you may need different mainboard as your GPU exceeds wattage allowed for your current PCI express slot
why not?! i watched people on youtupe exchanging their psu on the same board buy this adapter and it worked, and i mean this https://www.olx.com.eg/ad/atx-24pin-to-6pin-adapter-power-cable-for-hp-ID8QOyb.html
and btw the current psu is not hp psu its a cheap unit moderately by this connectors right outside from the psu.
