PC ATX Power Supply to PS3 Adapters

[finalman]

I mainly build it for testing PS3s and using it with a PS3 motherboard in a PC case mod that is currently a work in progress.

Currently creating the PS3 12v and GND plug versions. Will be added to OP when I finish each version.

@finalman the other day i was reviewing the specific wiki pages for each PS3 PSU model (by clicking in the blue links in the table). In every page there is an small table with the pinout of the white "control connector", and the 4 pins connector for VER-001 motherboard (used by PS3 models CECHL, CECHM, CECHP, CECHQ) have 4 pins, but are different than then next versions

In short, it seems that the 4 pin connector for VER-001 motherboard is unique
There was some typos in that pages and i been messing around with the table to try to improve that info about that pinouts
But i dont know if that pinout for CECHL, CECHM, CECHP, CECHQ (VER-001 motherboard) is right or wrong, do you know it ?

I mean, the small tables in this 2 pages:

After checking a bit more at the images availables it seems is fine
I think is the connector with 4 pins at top of this photo. It can be seen how the 2 pins at the center are soldered to GND

@sandungas I actually spend a lot of time looking at those pictures to make sure the small connectors pin order was the same on all the matching pin count versions.

I think your looking at the optical drive power connector as the power connector only has one GND pin. The power connector is the near one that has the pins in the shadow.

Please be more explicit, im trying to figure that pinouts by looking at the images, but it was not me who added that info to wiki, look at the history of this 2 pages, it was like that since 2012 (with the 2 GND pins in the center of the 4 pin connector)

When i was checking that pages the other day it called my attention, in the edits i made today i respected that info, but to be honest it smells a bit fishy, this is why i asked you

Hey guys, i recently purchased a brand new PS4 Pro CUH-7216B. And i'm wondering where i can get the PS4-ATX, so i can use it with the help of an BeQuiet or Corsair SFX 450 or 500 PSU, just to keep the original ADP-300FR safe and in some unknown or sudden case? If that mod works without any damages to the PS4 motherboard overtime.
I've seen a YouTuber doing another trick for the pc-psu, with removing almost all cables from the psu except thoes needed, but the PS4 fan is always on, as he doesn't used the transistor and the optocoupler.

Also if you have a schematic diagram, so i can search how to build one!
In anyway this is very interesting, thanks for that great work and idea, that break the playstation suffering PSU.

UPDATE: Finally received my created custom PCBs and built one. This is a standby power adapter only. The main 12v rails will come from either a 6pin PCIe or a 8 pin CPU power connectors. Works with all PS3 models from original launch model FAT all the way to Super Slims. Resistor can either be through-hole or 1206 surface mount. Optocoupler is from a faulty original PS4 power supply.

I've been trying to figure out how best to use a pc psu to power my ps3 fat and came across this thread. Just wondered how the progress was going? I'd gladly buy a kit or the pcb you've created to help complete my project. I was originally going to try to put a spacer inbetween the top and bottom case halves to get some better airflow. But honestly the pc psu mod seems like the better way to go.

Update, I was able to wire up an atx psu following this post:

But I would absolutely buy a board from you to make the conversion way cleaner. Subscribed for updates.
