Hello everyone,
 
I just bought a 500B power supply and when I opened my computer I realized the power connector on the motherboard has only 10 pins.
Is there a way to plug the 20 pins connector anyway or do I have to return the PSU and find another one ?
 
Computer is a Lenovo M900 and motherboard is a Lenovo IQ1X0M5
 
Any help/advice appreciated.
 
have a nice day.
 
Francois

    Welcome to the Forum francoism
    Can you post an image of your Motherboard (Showing the Connector)?
    Sounds like Lenovo is using a proprietary ATX Power Header.
    Not finding IQ1X0M5 on http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/partslookup as well.

    +1 sounds like Lenovo is using a special motherboard and if they are using a special PSU and motherboard connector you might be out of luck here.

    Thanks for your answers bcavnaugh and rjohnson11.
    @bcavnaugh : I'm not at home, so can't take a picture of the MB. I also made a typo in the MB number, should read IQ1X0MS
     
    Meanwhile, I searched on the Lenovo forums (I could have started there ...) and the consensus is to use a 24 pins to 10 pins adapter from modDIY.com (SKU : IBM-24-10)
    (Not sure I can post a direct link here)
    Part is ordered and I have now to wait 10-15 days until I can enjoy my new graphic card :)
     
    Thanks again for your time and have a nice day.
     
    Francois.

     Adaptor Still better check with the MFG that you can use it.
    Myself I would NOT use it as they are showing two different Cables.
