24p-14p Power Cable

Like a lot of the reviewers here, I was cautious about using this adapter cable, since it’s going from 24 pins to 14 pins. I was worried it wouldn’t supply enough power and that it could cause problems. The short version is “stop worrying and order it because it works perfectly!” 👍🏻 I have a Lenovo motherboard and power supply and upgraded the GPU. The system was pulling too much power for the supply to handle, so I wanted to upgrade to a 500w supply, but since the motherboard only has a 14 pin connector and the power supply had a 24 pin, I needed this solution. My concern was that fewer pins was not going to supply enough power to the motherboard, but once I paid more attention to the design, I realized how silly this worry was. You see, Lenovo routes almost ALL the power through those 14 pins and through the motherboard. The 14 pin goes to the motherboard and then all of the other components, hard drives, GPU, disc drives all have to run FROM the motherboards output power connectors. With the bed PSU, the only thing running on the 14 pins is the mobo itself, since I now have separate connectors for all the other components STRAIGHT from the PSU, as it should be. So actually, my components are all likely getting MORE power, and more stable power, and the mobo is actually needing less power running through it, likely causing less strain on the motherboard as well. I have noticed a LOT more stability and less heat from my setup now, and I think separating the power for components is the main reason. Also, having the separate power connector for the GPU obviously makes a huge difference. Overall, if you have a 14-pin connector for your motherboard, this is a GREAT solution and I highly recommend it.

Works perfectly on the very Lenovo Thinkcentre computer I'm using to write this review. For some reason, Lenovo decided to use non-standard motherboards that don't have the traditional 24 pin power connector. This adapts a standard ATX power supply to this 14 pin motherboard slot. Some people said they needed to modify it to work properly, but I had no trouble at all just plugging it in and booting up perfectly. A great, inexpensive way for me to keep this old PC alive after the original power supply fried itself. If I ever need another one (I have a habit of rescuing old computers) I'll buy another one.

Works great. was able to use a new aftermartket 850watt PSU with a 24 pin to power my Lenovo P520c motherboard.

Works

I recently upgraded my stock PSU to a modular Corsair 650w and I needed a 24 to 14 pin cable. I ordered this one and it is working well. I deducted one star because the item that arrived did not have a cable sleeve as pictured. It is not a big deal, but if the cable supplied had the cable sleeve as pictured it definitely helps with cable management within the compact computer case. I had to use extra zip ties to secure the extended (longer) cable away from the motherboard and other hardware.

Excelente producto cumple con lo descrito

I'll admit, I was a little concerned about reducing 24 pins down to 14 without having some kind of adverse affect. But I've been running/testing a Lenovo P410 for a few weeks and now have the feeling that the system could care less about being powered by a standard ATX power supply vs the crazy minimal and proprietary (but Platinum!) 14 pin FSP/Lenovo version. Extremely happy and relieved that this actually works, even though I don't understand how. Very high quality part.

The original power supply on the Lenovo E73 starts to fail. I can smell bad burning smell plastic. Just do not want to wait for the PS to fry your entire motherboard + CPU. It is a pity that Lenovo does not use regular power supply. So we either have to get rid of the PC, or to get another Lenovo power supply. So a adaptor cable with a standard power supply is acceptable. This cable does the job well. The cable is braided and that is very good. The length is just perfect. This is just an one time purchase since we won't need such cable again. It is a good item and good quality.

Cavo di buona fattura con guaina protettiva. Tutto perfetto.

Tres bon

Excellent Produit, fonctionne très bien, service rapide, recommandé Merci!

Item arrived with the plastic parts both ends warped and damaged. It's asking for a fire to happen if I were to use it in that state. 24 pin is warped and broken on the right side whilst the 14 pin has its latch broken as well as the plastic behind the latch broken too so it is unusable and I will not risk fire for this bad product.

I like stuff women don’t like because I don’t like women. I don’t really have a use for this so I just use it as a fashion accessory. People notice that I wear it but don’t say anything. Any asexual male looking for fashion accessories that double as woman repellents won’t go wrong with this.
