24-pin Power Supplies: What's going on?
Why aren't retailers specifying whether the power supply is 24-pin or
not? Check out newegg.com; there's no way to tell. I've gone to multiple online stores, and they simply don't list it. I'd like to find a list of which power supplies are ATX 2.0 (24-pin). As of now, I can only guess, or attempt to count the pins in a small image. |

I just went to newegg.com and entered '24 pin power supply' for the search term and found numerous power supplies with the 24 pin connector and a 24 to 20 pin adapter. |

The vast majority don't distinguish. I searched '24 pin power supply' and found six of them. Try it at zipzoomfly, and you get one. In any event, does 24-pin automatically mean 'ATX 2.0 compliant'? As mentioned he http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=240159 Would this power supply ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...159-033&depa=0 ) work with that motherboard? |

I've had very good luck with three Seasonic Super Tornado 400 power supplies. They come with a 24 to 20 pin adapter and both 4 and 8 pin auxillary power plugs for the mainboard.

In any event, does 24-pin automatically mean 'ATX 2.0 compliant'? ATX12V Specification: 2.0 February, 2003 • Main Power Connector changes to 2x12. 1.2.3. Main Power Connector: The 2 x 10 main power connector has been replaced by a 2 x 12 connector. This was made to support 75 watt PCI Express*requirements. Pinout assignments are based on the SSI recommendation. With the added 12V, 5V, and 3.3V pins the need for an Aux Power connector is no longer needed and the guidance for this connector has been removed. http://www.formfactors.org/FFDetail.asp?FFID=1&CatID=2 Please note that ATX is a specification for motherboards and ATX12V is for power supplies. -- Peter Strömberg (55.6N 13.0E) C2K2 C2K3 ISCCIV02 ISCCIV03 ISCCIV04 |

Even the directions for the Intel mobo show putting both on the connector if there isn't a 24 pin already. |
