RabidMoose Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 The standard 4-pins supply 12v each, correct? Well, if you attach a y-connecter to one, does each of the new outputs supply 12v? And if so, why? That wouldn't make any sense to me, but it seems that that's how it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 The PSU has what 4 wires.. for a molex.. yellow.. red.. black n black.. Yellow is 12volts.. red is 5 volts.. the 2 blacks are grounds.. yes when u connect a y adapter you get the 12 or 5 volts you need.. well.. the current will drop a little bit but thats because.. well when u add new stuff it takes more juice.. so ur first Y adapter will be running at like 11.5volts and 4.5 volts.. you know what I mean? Why, because PSU runs in some weird Series circut lol.. Somethings in the world are not ment to be knowen.. and If you know it.. then you shouldent say stuff about it.. because it could set a nuclar reaction thingie.. and we will all die.. sorry.. I hope I helped a bit.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 Psywar is correct. Which is why you can pick up a little device that can cross wire those voltages and you can get a 7V plug. 12 to 7 V plug This is a cheap way of slowing down High speed fans. About your Voltage droping you are correct again. Which is why Antec made there new TruePower power supplies. This power supply does not drop voltage everytime a new device is attached.

posey Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 Why buy when you can make the 7v adapter yourself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 I thought that was obvious posey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidMoose Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 Thanks for the tips guys, but, due to my inquisitive nature, I must now find out WHY voltage works like this..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolcomPimp Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 This basicly explains what they said but maybe it's got some other info they may have left out... http://metku.net/index.html?sect=view&n=1&...ooppi/index_eng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
