| 16:08 | < abudhabi__> | Hmmm. |
| 16:09 | < abudhabi__> | Is there some serious reason not to use a 4-to-8 converter for an ATX 12V CPU power cable? |
| 16:09 | < abudhabi__> | I mean, I've got half the required power bus. |
| 16:10 | < abudhabi__> | And there exist things like: https://allegro.pl/oferta/adapter-4-pin-na-8-pin-zasilania-cpu-atx-12v-15cm-11027888467 |
| 16:10 | < abudhabi__> | I imagine there could be insufficient power. |
| 16:11 | | Vornicus [Vorn@ServerAdministrator.Nightstar.Net] has quit [Connection closed] |
| 16:12 | <@TheWatcher> | The key problem will be what the current rating on the 4 pin cable you're connecting to is, and whether the current drawn through the 8 pin is going to exceed that |

| 16:14 | < abudhabi__> | Danger of melting? |
| 16:18 | <@TheWatcher> | Essentially, yeah. Typically each +12v cable is rated for 10A, so the two +12v cables going to the 4 pin connector will be able to deliver 20A. But if each of the 4 +12V pins the 8 pin connector has are expecting to draw up to that much you might be pulling anything up to twice as much power through the cables to the 4 pin connector as they're rated for. If you're sure |
| 16:18 | <@TheWatcher> | that the individual +12V pins of the 8 pin connector will never draw more than 5A you'll be fine, but if not... the wires to the 4 pin might get a bit on the warm or melty side |
| 16:19 | < abudhabi__> | Mmmm. |
| 16:19 | < abudhabi__> | Maybe better to put an adapter on one of the spare molexes? https://allegro.pl/oferta/kabel-zasilajacy-adapter-molex-do-p4-4pin-atx-5706813244 |
| 16:19 | <@TheWatcher> | (I might have the amp ratings wrong, it's been ages since I checked, but the principle is the same) |
| 16:20 | < abudhabi__> | I understand. |
| 16:20 | <@TheWatcher> | And yeah, if you have spare molexes that's a great option |
| 16:21 | < abudhabi__> | They have two connectors per cable, so I imagine they are rated for double draw. |
| 16:43 | <@PinkFreud> | TheWatcher: heh, i had that happen in an electric lawn mower. |
| 16:44 | <@PinkFreud> | wires going to the motor have a connector so you can remove the top to work inside it. said connector melted on me one day - apparently Ryobi underspeced some parts for that mower. |
| 16:45 | < abudhabi__> | Did you connect it to an ATX PSU? :V |
| 16:45 | <@PinkFreud> | abudhabi__: lol |
| 16:46 | <@PinkFreud> | nope, just two of their batteries (which the mower was designed to do!). |

| 17:04 | <@TheWatcher> | PF: Huh, that's disappointing. Ryobi are generally not bad :/ |
| 17:06 | <@PinkFreud> | TheWatcher: i've found that, too. to be fair, we had a fairly rainy week or so, and my grass was *tall*. |
| 17:06 | <@PinkFreud> | so the mower melted it's connector while trying to deal with grass that was a bit much. |
| 17:08 | <@PinkFreud> | i wound up upgrading the mower anyway, to a power-assisted one - my yard is on a hill, and i have a nearly 8 year old who can start helping with yard maint, so i figured that'd be handy. the old one has it's handle folded down and is sitting on a shelf, awaiting a new connector on those wires. |
| 17:08 | <@PinkFreud> | figured i'd use it as a spare if the current mower ever craps out on me. |
| 17:13 | <@TheWatcher> | Makes sense, no point pitching it if it just needs connectors replacing (although I might be tempted to use higher gauge wires too, just in case...) |
| 17:14 | <@PinkFreud> | the wires going to the motor are already pretty high gauge. didn't check to see what they are precisely, but they're definitely thick. |
| 17:14 | <@PinkFreud> | the problem occurred at the center of the connector, so i suspect just the connector was underspecced. |
