Connector conversion
This adapter converts a PSU ATX 12V 4-pin female connector into an 8-pin EPS male connector for motherboard CPU power. It uses 18AWG tinned copper conductors and measures six inches in length. The cable is rated for 12V DC operation and features a multi-colour black and yellow jacket.
Sustained delivery
The 18AWG copper wires handle continuous 12V current to the CPU socket without the voltage drop that can occur with thinner gauge alternatives. A six-inch run keeps resistance low, so the motherboard receives stable power during extended workloads. The short length also reduces cable clutter inside the chassis.
EPS limitation
This adapter is designed only for motherboard EPS 8-pin sockets and must not be connected to an 8-pin graphics card power input. Using it on a video card can cause damage because the pinout and current expectations differ. Builders needing GPU power should use the correct PCIe cables from the power supply.

Questions about this item
Will the 18AWG copper conductors overheat when the 12V rail runs continuously?
The 18AWG tinned copper wires are rated for the 12V DC CPU auxiliary circuit and stay cool under normal motherboard loads.
My power supply only has a 4-pin P4 female connector — is that the only cable I need?
Yes, the adapter plugs directly into the PSU’s 4-pin P4 female and the motherboard’s 8-pin EPS male socket; no extra cables are required.
Can I keep my older ATX supply with a 4-pin P4 output and still power a modern 8-pin EPS board?
The 6-inch converter bridges the legacy 4-pin P4 female to the 8-pin EPS male, letting the existing supply feed the newer motherboard.
