None of the PCIe cards I saw provided internal headers and some required molex power. I then need some way to provide more USB 2.0 headers.
So, in order to use the Corsair Lighting Pro, I had to scavage one of the 9 pin USB headers which means disconnecting something from the front panel. So, if I want the use of that, I'll need to provide a USB internal header to which to attach it, or a 9 pin internal header to which to move the front panel USB 2.0 port connector. I assume the four pin is the card reader. The only front panel connections not accounted for so far are the audio connections and the card reader. The second USB 2.0 connector had a four pin white connector doing to the front panel. It is a nine 9 pin connector that I assume provides two USB 2.0 ports.ģ. One feeds the two USB 2.0 ports on the front panel. There are two USB 2.0 connectors on the mother board. So, if I decide to use the NZXT HUB I would need to get one of those.Ģ. I did find an adaptor, molex to SATA that would work to correct that issue. There definitely is no molex connector from the power supply. It seems molex connectors are a thing of the past although most commercially available power supplies, both modular and semi modular and non-modular, all have at least one.ġ. Much wasted time, some wasted money all due to an assumption on my part. So, I can connect it to the mother board and then connect the front USB 2.0 connectors to it. The Commander Pro is more than I need as I don't have any fans to control, however, is uses SATA power and has two USB 2.0 connectors.
#Pc power supply molex connector upgrade#
However, in the end decided to bag that solution and just upgrade from the LIghting Node Pro to the Commander Pro. I searched and found, finally, molex to SATA power adapter. There are a number of SATA power connections, but no molex.
However, from what I can determine the power supply in the 870-244 does not. I assumed all power supplies would have at least one. However, the HUB requires a molex power connection. I then started looking for ways to regain the front connectors and hit on the NZXT USB HUB. I had to remove the front USB 2.0 connector to accomodate. EXCEPT, there is only one USB 2.0 header on the mother board and that is what the Lighting Pro needs to connect. However, I bought a Corsair Lighting Pro and it all worked out just fine.

I decided to install internal RGB lighting in my Omen 870-244. I've been following a rather torturous route here. Business PCs, Workstations and Point of Sale Systems.Printer Wireless, Networking & Internet.DesignJet, Large Format Printers & Digital Press.
