Atx Power Supply


Recommended Posts

Just a quick question. My new mobo has two atx connectors. Do I hook'em both up or just one? If one, does it matter whitch one? One has 4 pin the other has 20. Sorry for the dumb question, but I don't want to blow up my new mobo. Better safe than sorry. Thanks in advance :D

Heh, don't worry. Just connect it (no it will not blow up).

 

I haven't really looked a lot, but have usually only seen them on Intel boards, but just connect it.

:withstupid:

 

i only thought those extra plugs were for Intel. Which mobo is it, hellagood?

Almost all mobo's now adays have a 12v ATX Power for the Proc. It is intended to give a better and more stable power supply for the Proc.

 

And if his mobo has one, I promise you that it will not POST if he does not connect power to it.

 

My AMD board has a 12vATX power connector. Giga-byte was one of the first to make boards with the extra connextor on a AMD board.

Hey thanks guys. Sorry, I couldn't post faster. I had some technical crap to deal with. It all seems to be working fine! Oh ya, the mobo is a DFI NFII ULTRA AL. Thing is pretty sweet so far!

well i've never had any power problems with my amd setups, so just seems like added clutter to me (more wires)
