What the cable does

This adapter converts a 4-pin 12V CPU power connector from the power supply into an 8-pin 12V connector for the motherboard. It is 7.87 inches long and weighs .02 lb. The cable suits builders fitting a modern board into a system with an older power supply that only offers the 4-pin header.

Check before ordering

Verify that the power supply provides a 4-pin 12V CPU connector and that the motherboard requires an 8-pin 12V CPU power input. The adapter is male-to-female, so the 4-pin side plugs into the PSU and the 8-pin side accepts the board cable. Ensure the 7.87 inch reach matches your internal routing.

Thermals and power in use

The adapter passes 12V power through a short 20cm cable with standard 4-pin and 8-pin connectors. No active components are present, so it adds no fan noise and draws no extra power beyond the CPU load. Normal use stays within the rating of the original power supply and motherboard headers.

Questions about this item

What comes in the package and do I need anything else to use this adapter?

The box contains one 4-pin male to 8-pin female CPU power adapter cable. No additional parts are required if your power supply has a 4-pin 12V connector and your motherboard has an 8-pin 12V CPU socket.

Which version of this adapter should I pick for a standard ATX motherboard?

This single model converts a 4-pin 12V male plug into an 8-pin 12V female socket, matching the common ATX CPU power layout.

What does the 7.87-inch length mean when routing the cable inside my case?

At 7.87 inches the cable spans roughly 20 cm, long enough to reach from a top-mounted PSU to the CPU socket in most mid-tower builds while keeping slack minimal.
