Why female to female, female to male would be an extension cable. 2s on google.

Because both the mother board and the power pack are Male so i need Female to female

Hi paul young
what is the make and model of your motherboard , i have never seen a male 8pin eps on a motherboard

Yep, that's my thought as well, you need a male to female to act as an extension (that way you always end up with the same as the original cable end. If you have modular you can't go straight to the modular port on the psu, you have to go from the 8pin atx cable.

your psu looks very strange did it not come with an 8pin modular cable that plugs from that socket on your psu to the motherboard ?

Paul Young · Apr 6, 2014

the power pack is just my old computer i bought the new motherboard im running a 4pin from the psu to 8 pin motherboard but is randomly losing power so i google it and lask of power was the main thing

mickypheonix · Apr 6, 2014

go with the molex's to 8pin it will get full power then

Paul Young · Apr 6, 2014

they are male to

Paul Young :

do not plug directly into those.

find your proper modular cables and then plug into that. If you have lost this then what you need in an icute 8pin atx cable, probably only available from icute if at all. There is no standardisation with these so you might be lucky and find that the 8pins exactly match the 8pins of the atx connection, but they might not and you could then kill your board.

mickypheonix · Apr 7, 2014

no m8 , if you have not got the modular 8pin eps cable that came with your psu then you can use the 4pin molex cable that comes from your psu to hook up the adaptor i showed you , the molexes are on a lead not on the back of the psu

mickypheonix · Apr 7, 2014

ok m8 lets assume you have no other modular cables and only the pic that we are looking at
get one of these

plug female end into your psu , cable is long enough to hide behind motherboard tray ,
then one of these

to the male end on the other end of the molex cable plugged into your psu

is that what you are after ? that is asuming a standard four pin molex female will plug into your psu

mickypheonix · Apr 7, 2014

sorry m8 my mistake , male end into psu on the extension then you have a female molex then plug one male into the female from this

then the female molex on eps into other male thats left
