On the attached photo there is a picture of a power connector found on
my PSU. It is presently unplugged, what is it used for?

Thanks

In the ATX_2.1 spec from formfactors.org, it says it is the "Aux power"
connector:

"It is recommended that motherboards requiring 3.3V current over
18 A or +5V current over 30 A implement an Aux Power Connector."

The six wires are (3) GND, (2) +3.3, and (1) +5V

Actually it seems it was necessary... this IS NOT a binary group and thus
posting binaries is not the intended purpose, whether it's relevant or not.

My news server does not carry binaries in non-binaries groups, and thus I
did not see the picture.

I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a String...

That connector is known as an "Auxpwr" connector, and it's purpose is to
provide extra power to the AGP slot for video cards that have high power
requirements. However, it's not generally used, the video card makers
have instead gone to putting a "disk drive" connector directly on their
video cards in most cases, because many (I'd almost say most)
motherboards don't have a connector for the "Auxpwr" connector.

I don't know that I've ever seen a photo attachment to a newsgroup
messages, but I did get it and was able to view it.

and it's VERY UN-WELCOME in this or any other non-binary group... And I'll
shove an umbrella up the ass of anyone who says otherwise - I can make it
fit, so it must be welcome, eh?

Very true and ***** to top posting.
If I want to put my reply before what was said then I will.

True words indeed.
Tis not meant to have Binary in non binary forum/group.

Same here and I also have my toilet paper rolling off the top, not off the
bottom ! - Why- Because I like it that way too.
