[SOLVED] Micronics Astro GD 550W PSU

[Utsu]

Hi there,

Purchased a Micronics Astro GD 550W PSU, but the connector for the motherboard and CPU is too short.
Can only plug one of them. as you can see in this link: https://ibb.co/Rbjkd7x

Here the stickers info:

LITEON 210W https://ibb.co/KLhTZjG
ASTRO 550W https://ibb.co/7tJRKnN

Can I plug the LITEON 210W (original Lenovo purchase) on my CPU only and the new one 550W for the motherboard (all the rest)?
Because all other devices/components are powered from the motherboard like the CPU, but are separated from it.
No OC planned, wants Motherboard and Memory to run at 2400Mhz and add a WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD M.2 2280. Maybe change to a better Video card PCie 2.0 x16...

My PC is a Lenovo Thinkcentre M720s SFF, i3-8100 CPU, chipset B360 with:

• 16GB (4x4GB) CORSAIR LPX Vengeance running at 2133Mhz (came with 2x4GB RAMAXEL)
• WD Blue 500GB HDD SATA III
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 on PCie 2.0 x16, dropped to x8 when I upgraded my Memory
• Sound Blaster Audigy Fx 5.1

Tried to look up on other threads, everybody's about pluggin to Video card...

Thanks in advance

Seems you want to power the motherboard with a 6 pin pcie connector if i see correctly which it is not meant for. You just might kill those nice parts in there.
If you want to upgrade just upgrade case and motherboard as well.

Short answer: No

Long answer: No. You'll let the magic smoke out.

If I only add the WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD M.2 2280 with actual 210W, will it take it?
I won't touch anything else... lol

Proprietary motherboard, PSU and tower.

What you need to do is pull the RAM, CPU, harddrives, cards, etc. and put it in a new, standard ATX motherboard and put that in a standard ATX case.
