4-Pin CPU to IDE Power Adapter

This 20 cm extension cable connects a 4-pin ATX 12V P4 power connector to a Molex-style IDE port. It lets a desktop builder route CPU power to legacy drives or accessories inside a standard tower. The male-to-male design requires no soldering and fits typical chassis layouts. It suits anyone adding older IDE devices to a modern power supply.

Fits standard ATX power routing

The short 20 cm length keeps cable clutter low while bridging the PSU’s 4-pin CPU header to an IDE power socket. It frees up longer Molex leads for other components and avoids stretching stiff wires across the motherboard tray. Builders working in compact cases gain a tidy connection without excess slack. No extra adapters or tools are needed for installation.

Replaces improvised Molex splitters

This cable removes the need to daisy-chain generic splitters or repurpose peripheral connectors for IDE power. The direct male-to-male link reduces contact resistance and eliminates loose multi-plug blocks. The jump is worthwhile when a single IDE drive or front-panel device needs reliable 12 V delivery from the CPU power rail. It is not suited for powering multiple high-draw devices from one header.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum cable length available for this 4-pin CPU power-to-IDE adapter?

The cable is 20 cm long, so that is the fixed distance between the CPU power connector and the IDE plug.

How much heat does the connector area generate when the cable runs continuously?

The assembly is a passive wire harness with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat of its own during operation.

Which power supply connector must be free to use this adapter?

A spare 4-pin ATX 12V (P4) male header on the power supply is required to plug the adapter in.
