What is this miniature ATX PSU connector called? It is 38 mm long, smaller than standard ATX, on a desktop socket 479 motherboard. I have a suitable power supply, but its size is longer than the board, so won't be suitable for the small build I'm planning. The PSU I have is like a long Flex ATX PSU, but I'm not sure if that is the name of the connector. The motherboard is mini ITX

Something similar to the Molex Micro-Fit Connector System?

That looks like it, thanks. I can't find any kind of micro fit psu or ATX adapter so far, so may have to use the psu I have. I think I found a suitable case, so that's something 😀

What are that PSU's brand and model ?

You may be able to find a hint as to how to find a smaller sized equivalent based on its spec sheet or manual .

I see plenty of adapter cables but they seem to be mainly for Dell systems, and I'm not sure they're wired straight thru 1 to 1 - what mb model is it for?

The PSU is an AcBel (never heard of them) API5PC14. The motherboard is an Asus PTGV-DM, from an HP Onyx system. I have the whole system apart from the original case. Everything I see for sale is 4-pin, no 24 pin adapter to use with an ATX PSU

I see loads of these - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185345768371?var=0 … BSABEgINUPD_BwE - but is the wiring / pin pitch what you're looking for???

Surprised you've not heard of AcBel - IBM used them loads

I was searching "micro-fit". That looks like what I need, thanks. I've never worked on boards from large OEMs 😀

Is it the Asus HP 479 board? If you search for the motherboard model # or HP name it should come up with an adapter on ebay. I bought one a few years ago.

Searching the motherboard name came up with nothing. The link PC Hoarder Patrol posted gave me search terms for a good few adapter cable, so all is good
