Acer veriton motherboard 12 pins

victormonzon · Mar 21, 2014

My Motherboard model Acer Veriton DT.VHHAA.005;VM4630G-I7477X

Has a 12 pin connector this is not the standard connector from the Power supply ,

Standard is 20 pins or 24 pins.

Do you guys think this connector could resolve the problem? this states is for server but not quite sure if I could use it for a standard mobo

Yes it should but check you motherboard manual just to be sure!
And be sure that it fits!

The short answer is definitely no -- but with sufficient investigation, tenacity, and DIY-modification the long answer is optimistically yes.
