I'm trying to connect a 24-pin PSU connector to a 4-pin motherboard power connector. I've searched online for adapters, but I couldn't find anything suitable. If anyone has suggestions or solutions, I'd really appreciate it!

The 4-pin and 24-pin connectors serve different purposes, so it really depends on what kind of motherboard you have. If it's from an OEM system, like HP or something similar, sharing the model might help us find the right adapter for you. Otherwise, you might not find a direct adapter that fits your needs.

Just to clarify, are you dealing with a standard 2x2 pin for the CPU power? If it's proprietary, you're likely going to need the model number of your HP Pavilion to find the specific adapter. Some OEMs use special connectors that donโ€™t have straightforward solutions.
