Cascadesss Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Just downloaded the new Expert's manual and it's stated that they would prefere you to use the 8-pin +12v connector, but you can still use the 4-pin connector if that's what comes with your big power supply. The 8-pin connector has 4 +12v pins and 4 ground pins -vs- 2 +12v pins and 2 ground pins for the 4-pin connector. Just waiting for the board to become available.

davidhammock200 Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 You "should" use the EPS 8-pin connector, your Enermax 600W is EPS & has the 8-pin molex! :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethi Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 sigh does that mean I have to replace the powerstream 520W? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhammock200 Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 sigh does that mean I have to replace the powerstream 520W?No, contact OCZ & they will get you the correct plug, the PowerStreams are EPS rated. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethi Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 Oh really!? Nice! Now I need to figure out what the heck EPS stands for (yes I have read all your guides, but I cannot remember what it is exactly ) btw david, I know you are very experienced with PSU stuff. I wonder if you can offer some opinions on the following: 1) software voltage readings are bad, but how about the deltas that they detect, can that be trusted? (this stemmed from a problem where I saw a huge drop of my 12V rail when using S&M tester) Actually to put it another way, is there are way that I can extrapolate the actual voltage drop based up the delta that was detected? 2) Why is software monitoring inaccurate? i mean they must read some voltage or current value that few designated sensors or chips that the mobo provide. And from there they calculate the values. Is the inaccuracy rooted from the fact that a inaccurate readin is provided by the mobo itself? Or that the software is not calculating things correctly. This question is related to the thread here about the upgraded Smartguard, where we can put some offset in the voltage readings to match the DMM readings. However, if the info provided by the mobo is inheriantly inaccurate, after using the offset we still cannot "trust" the software readings can we? thanks a lot for the help!
