PSU question?

[mr_o]

i was trying to tidy the cables in my computer the other day, i just did a "that will do, now lets play" when i built it in sept, and noticed that PSU has a couple cables from it that are yellow and black. Its a Globalwin Super Silent 22dBA 420W.
Now i dont think there SATA as there are u spliced plugs in another 2 cables.
any ideas?? :dozey:

you got an AMD PC??
is this a 4 pin sort of square formation connection?
if so then that's for a p4 board, to supply a stable 12v line or something iirc

[mr_o]

yeah its an athlon
yeah its a 4 pin. just wondered what it was for and theres nothing to tell u
cheers bud. :P

[terroristteddy]

some of the newer athlon boards use them too, mine does

[mr_o]

im on an a7n8x delux rev2.0
dont think it has the slot tho.
cheers for the ino. u would have thought they would have told u somewhere tho

[DizMatt]

I have the rev 1.04 of that board
it's mainly for p4's
you don't need to worry about it for an AMD if it's the same connector I'm thinking of

[CaptainTrips]

Most AMD boards with that connector don't actually require you to use the ATX12V plug. It helps though if you're into overclocking...
