Manufacturer description

Replacing a failed Dell power supply with a standard ATX unit? The Longdex 24-pin to 8-pin ATX PSU adapter cable converts a regular 24-pin power supply connector into the 8-pin dedicated interface Dell uses. The listing names Dell 3020, 7020 and 9020 systems, plus boards built on H61, H81, Q77, Q87, B75, A75, Q75 and Q65 chipsets. The most important part is the built-in 12VSB booster panel. A conventional ATX supply provides +5VSB standby power, but these Dell boards expect +12VSB. The booster raises the standby rail to that level, which a simple pin-to-pin cable cannot do. The cable uses…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored 11 Inch 24-Pin to 8-Pin 18AWG ATX PSU Power Supply Adapter Cable using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the power supplies category. Longdex's power supplies lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this adapter work with a Dell 3020, 7020 or 9020?

Yes. The Longdex listing names the Dell 3020, 7020 and 9020 as compatible, along with boards using H61, H81, Q77, Q87, B75, A75, Q75 and Q65 chipsets. It connects a standard 24-pin ATX power supply to the 8-pin power header on these boards.

Why does this cable have a 12VSB booster board?

Standard ATX power supplies output +5VSB standby power, but Dell's 8-pin boards expect +12VSB. The included booster panel raises the +5VSB to +12VSB so the board gets the standby voltage it needs. A plain pin-to-pin adapter does not do this.

What size power supply can I use with this adapter?

The cable uses 18AWG copper wire (1007-rated, 0.18x34 core) and the listing rates it to support a power supply of up to 1000W. Choose a PSU with a standard 24-pin main connector.

How long is the cable, and will it reach my motherboard?

The cable is 28 cm (11 inches) long. That is enough for most standard PSU-to-motherboard routes, but measure the distance in your case first, especially in a full tower or with a bottom-mounted PSU.

Can I use this on a regular 24-pin ATX motherboard?

No. It only converts a 24-pin PSU connector to an 8-pin board connector for Dell-style motherboards. A standard ATX motherboard with a 24-pin header connects directly to the power supply and does not need this adapter.
