2007?

Do you mean 2009/2010 Aurora R1 ? Yes, mine has 875w. The 2 harnesses, can be 6 pinners or 6+2=8 pinners. You are good to go.

each cable (blu-wht and blu-ylw) gets a 6pin with a 'jumper' 6+2. combine the 2pin onto the 6pin = 8pin

note blu-wht is a 6+2 --> in otherwords, all 2009 - 2014 Aurora have an 8pin included (= 6+2)

*a typical PSU case harness is NRHJ9 / eBAY

any Aurora sold before 2009 (pre-Dell) might need a 6pin to 8pin adapter:

Thank you I will have to look at the harness more closely. to see if the 2pin is hiding under something. If not this would do the job, correct?

What is the part number for the 6+2pin harness?

Randy

Yes, those work. I posted a photo of an Aurora, if that is what you have then there is no mystery > simply find the 6+2s wired to the end of your 6pins and use them = nothing to buy

Thank you that is useful. I will check to see if I have the 6+2 connectors

stuffed under the board. If not I'll order the modified 6 to 6+2 connectors.

All of the Aurora R1-R4 came with the same Power Supply Harness, no matter if PS was 525w or 875w.

Yea, I use this for minor game play; Fallout series, Steel Division, LOTHRO

and older RPG Games; no first person shooters. But it's biggest use is for

3d modeling, slicing and control of my 3D printer. My daughter also uses it

to convert public domain movies to run on the local theater's equipment for

special events. That one really taxes the system as it can take up to 24

hours to convert a single movie. My everyday unit is supposed to be a

Lanovo E560 laptop that has been in the shop more than at home.

Again thank you for your help. OH, how much thermal paste should I apply to

the water cooler after putting in the new motherboard and installing the

CPU.

Randy

You are welcome. Good luck with the upgrade.

Probably a good time to take to garage and air-compressor it, including fans and radiator.

I say keep'em runnin. A small SSD (~240gb) as bootable Windows C: is also a nice upgrade for these if you haven't already.

Thank you for the clarification. I was able to find the second 6pin; 6+2pin

cable stuffed down next to the power supply. Now I'm set the replace

everything. You have been most helpful.

The proper amount   of a good quality type (like any heat-sink or liquid-cooler install). See YouTube or Google.

Yeah, video re-encodes will get any machine cookin since it seems to run all cores at 100%. Like me, sounds like you need a 100% perfectly stable machine.

My first and only Lenovo laptop, a X1-Carbon Touch (Gen-2) ... motherboard died at 2.5 years. I'll never buy another Lenovo.

But I suggest you "watch the money". New upper-class mainstream machines are cheap, but still really nice. Dropping in a nice video card or SSD into a 7-year old machine is one-thing, but complete rebuilds are another. I only upgraded my Aurora-R1's AMD-5870 to an Nvidia-1070 because I just bought a loaded Aurora-R6 and 27inch UltraSharp LCD. It was worth it to keep 2 nice workstations going. Sounds like you might be in the same boat, but thought I should mention it anyway.
