Just to verify though, look at your ATX plug and match it with this diagram (click the see diagram link at the bottom). That will let you know if the pin out is standard or not. The diagram is of a standard ATX 20 pin Plug. The top one is your 4 pin molex. Let us know what you find out! |

I had a mac that lost its PSU I rewired a normal PSU to match and it works just fine, I also rewired a Dell PSU to fit a normal PC also works fine so it is possible to do this but I do not know how much u know about wiring this is one thing I am good at. You need to use a volt meter to match the wires make sure that all the wires have the right voltage to them. Let me know if u try this I will try to help. |
