power suppliy question

Here is a simple question re the new power supplies that are currently
about that have a 24 pin split connector block. I was under the
impression that you could start any DDR 1 or 2 motherboard with one of
these. They have a 4 pin connector [black and yellow] as well as the
extra 4 pins keyed into the main connector block. I assumed that you
just slip this down and out of the way, plug the other 20 pin block
into an DDR1 ATX or MATX motherboard, plug in the 4 pin yellow black
connector and away it should go

I bought two of these psu's a couple of weeks ago and niether will
start any of the atx/matx boards here including the new board i bought
today [msi k8m800 with ddr1]
the board fires fine with an old style atx supply i use as a test
starter

are both new supplies faulty or am i missing something here??

It sounds like you coincidentally have a couple of bad power supplies. That
can happen, regardless of what type of cable connectors come with the power
supply. But I assume you checked the obvious, such as voltage selector and
power switch on power supply itself are set correctly, right? -Dave

What make/model? What spec system? Some cheap PSUs are rubbish at
actually meeting their spec!
