[SOLVED] Corsair VS550

[DarthVaper]

Hello,

I am looking for some advice.

I have a Dell Precision T1700 tower, standard mother board but it only has an 8 pin adapter, I have been given a corsair VS500 550w power supply unit but it has a long power connector compared to my 8pin, my question ultimately will it fit on my mother board and would it be okay to use and not overload my mother board and blow everything up?

If it's just for office use, yes. No gaming on higher powered video cards though.

Hello,

I have a RX550 GPU in currently but will be looking to upgrade this again soon for a better card, does this mean that I am not able to use the Corsair VS550 in my machine?

No it wont fit and you will probably have to use some kind of adpater 24pin to 10pin, also i think its a 10pin on T1700 motherboard and not 8pin, do check and tell

oh ok, then get a adapter and you should be fine, 24 pin to 8pin

So I have to have an adaptor? It wouldn't fit straight onto the board as it is?

So I got the new psu, can't get it to boot anything but no damage to pc as popped old psu back in.
Can I use a pcie connector to power the mobo or do I 100% an adapter?

No you cant as the 24pin and the pcie provide different power ratings , you will damage the motherboard. Also if you look closely the pin shape should probably be different so it wont go in anyway. I dont know where your location is but heres an amazon link. https://www.amazon.com/ZLKSKER-24-P...32413&sprefix=24pin+to,electronics,342&sr=8-7
