[SOLVED] Current PSU does not have a 24pin, any adapters available?

[Fredd001]

My current mobo comes from a prebuilt hp which is powered by 2, 4 pin connectors and does not come with a 24pin (mobo or psu). This mobo does not support OC and thus i want to upgrade to a Gigabyte B450M. I either need a new PSU (dont want to do) or find some adapters to connect to a 24pin from my current power cables. All the ones ive seen online are male adapters (male 8pin to 24pin), but obviously i need a female pin to go into the original male pin, and i do not seem to find any female to 24pin adapters. Anyone has any input?

they don't exist for a reason. you can't do what you are thinking. your custom pre-built psu is not set to matchup with a standard 24-pin. you only have 8 pins anyway. how do expect them to line up and provide what 24 individual pins do?

it won't happen. you need a new psu to do what you want to do. no way around it no matter how much you really really want it to happen.

You need a new PSU.

"(dont want to do) " is irrelevant. You need a new PSU that can actually power your new system.

Nope. That's not how it works. You need a PSU.
