20 & 24 pin ATX Power?
20 & 24 pin ATX Power?
Ok im looking to get this motherboard and it has a 24 pin connector as well as that square 4 pin one. Now not too long ago i bought a Zalman PSU and would like to use it with this new mobo, but its only got a 20 pin ATX connector on it with the 4 pin thingy... can i still use it or do i have to find one of them 24 pin PSUs and what the hell standard is them 24 pin things any ways... cant find crap on newegg about it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

did a search and this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817159034 seems to use a 20 to 24 adapter, so if you can find one you shouldnt need a new PSU

It appears to need an ATX12V 2.0 power supply.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX this seems to be a good starting point they have links to what appear to be the actual standard.

+12v is on the short side... but OTOH I have the Zalman ZM400B-APS, which has a 18a +12v rail, and it powers my rig alright (but the +12v rail is only at 11.80v)

Good explanation of 24 pin versus 20 pin PSUs on AnandTech here: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview ... erthread=y
Pugsley, they DO make 20 to 24 pin adapters - one of the PSU's I just bought came with one).
