Upgraded from ASUS P8H61-I to Gigabyte GA-B75TN: where are the power connectors?

[kwanbis]

I had my HTPC setup with an ASUS P8H61-I (http://amzn.com/B004W8EFWK) inside a MI008 with a 250W Itx Psu+sata Power Supply (http://amzn.com/B001H0BA24).

Because I wanted four USB3.0 ports, I bought a Gigabyte GA-B75TN mini-itx motherboard (http://amzn.com/B00C99MV5C).

But the problem is that the power connections are totally different, here you can see the ones on the ASUS: http://i.imgur.com/Txw4Pbx.jpg (also highlighted the PCIe adaptar, more on that later) and here you can see the ones I believe are the ones for the Gigabyte: http://i.imgur.com/aQpjKGe.jpg

It has something in the back that says DC Adapter connector, but I have no idea what it is: http://i.imgur.com/ordTNy6.png

So, this requires a new type of PSU? Is there any adapter? How can I connect it?

Bt the way, I thought the PCIe was going to be the same, as I have an Asus Radeon (http://amzn.com/B004X8EOB6) but it is much shorter, so I would probably have to end up buying another PCIe card, so, anybody can recommend a PCIe card that can do 3D?

UPDATE: here are the connecotr on my PSU http://i.imgur.com/4uoml4m.jpg

Basically it is set up for all in ones and mobile hardware! I would return it for a proper mITX board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128646

I don't understand what you mean, but if returning it is not an option, what can I do about it?

 

[rolli59]

I really do not know but that is not a desktop board and therefore does not run of your normal PSU!

 

[kwanbis]

It uses a picoPSU, that is the problem. I would try to exchange it.

The problem is that I'm looking for a mini ITX motherboard with FOUR USB 3.0 in the rear, that for some reason is very hard to find.

So far, and for around 110, this is the only one.

What are you connecting needing 4 x USB3?

 

[kwanbis]

I have 4 external USB 3.0 hard drives.

Another option is a mother with four USB 3.0 2 rear 2 front, but I would have to change the case also, as mine has only 2.0 front connectors.

 

[rolli59]

Ok there is a will and there is a way, being a HTPC do you use all the drives at ones?

I opened a thread here, as this was asking for advice about the power connector.
