5 out of 5 eggsLink to Y Cable

Pros: Seems to work as it should.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: This seems to be the "Y cable" that others are referencing:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200459

It looks like it works the same way except that it includes the power from the P4 cable. It may work better, I'm not sure.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Part to get out of a bind.

Pros: I brought a board that required the 8 pin EPS connector and my purchased PS didnt have it. This got me out of having to purchase a different PS for my mobo. Worked perfectly.

Cons: None

5 out of 5 eggsSaved the day.

Pros: You won't run into this often, but if you have a board with an EPS12v requirement, this is what you want. Uses one Molex connector (4-pin). I had a Tyan Tomcat 266 something-or-other board and when it came in I didn't realize it needed the 8-pin connector. This did the trick.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I like Athena power's prices and performance when it comes to adapters. I've bought quite a few over the years and haven't been disappointed yet. Now if we can just get them to write operating systems ...

5 out of 5 eggsworks fine

Pros: Bought a new mobo and it had an EPS12 requirement.
This was the first such mobo (X58) onsite, so we did not have the required conectors on the power supplies we have in stock.
This item worked fine.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: If you are buying an X58 mobo, to drop into an older chassis you have lying around, double check the mobo requirements.

Ideally you should use a power supply that comes with an EPS12 connector.
In my case, I buiilt a desktop PC with the X58 mobo; NOT a gaming rig.

Everest by Lavalys shows everything is operating fine, according to the mobo's built in sensors.

Had I been building a gaming rig I would have had to get a new power supply.
