Question Is it possible to connect 8-pin CPU power to 10-pin (2x5) ATX 12V CPU power or find a dongle for that?

[3ndr1u]

Hello,
I have old Lenovo S20 workstation with 10-pin (2x5) ATX 12V connection to power the CPU and an "auxiliary" 4-pin (2x2) 12V. I have recently bought a BQ! Straight Power 11 650W PSU. When buying I did not pay attention to CPU power connector so now I'm kinda stuck with what I got. Can I connect 4+4pins cable from my PSU to 10pin EPS connector? Or is there any dongle for that, because after research I could not find any.

Here are the specs:
BQ! SP11 650W
GTX 580
8GB RAM
Xeon W3520 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/p...20-8m-cache-2-66-ghz-4-80-gt-s-intel-qpi.html
MB : https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/migr-72076

Thanks,
Andrew

There are some adapters sold -- https://www.moddiy.com/products/IBM-Lenovo-PSU-Main-Power-24-Pin-to-10-Pin-Adapter-Cable-30cm.html
I have no personal knowledge if they work.

Thanks for response, but afaik this adapter is for the motherboard power connector not for the CPU. If I had used it, how would I could power MB?

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue right now. Did you manage to make the non-proprietary PSU work with it?
