Wanted: CPU extension lead.

TAPlank · 2014-01-10 18:21:15

I am building a new PC and the lead from the PSU to the CPU power socket on the motherboard is not long enough. (the PSU is mounted in the bottom of the case). I need an extension lead for this and cannot source one, It is a 4 pin plug to 8 pin motherboard socket. A 4 pin plug to 4 pin mootherboard socket would also be OK.…

A couple of UK suppliers list these but don't have them in stock. Does anyone know where in Ireland I might get one?

Seems to be a few on amazon?

I often find good UK based ebay sellers handy for little odds n' ends like this.

I'd be guessing you might be able to pick one up in store from a walk in in store like Maplin if there is one nearby (and get charged accordingly).
