Whats the 4-pinned connector called on some power supplies?
I'm referring to the one with the white, 4-pinned head in the shape of
a square (2 pins by 2 pins). Is there an industry standard name for these connectors? And while I'm asking does it look to you guys that this PSU has such a connector: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817159045 The photos make it very hard to tell for sure one way or another. TIA |

TIA I'd call it the cpu power plug, but I'm sure there's a more esoteric name such as the 'quadro-pin processing energizer coupler'. Anyhow look at the second picture from the left of the various shots of the PS supplied by Newegg. You'll see the connector more clearly there. Virtually all PS's made in the last 3 years have this connector standard for the cpu. -- Jan Alter or |

And while I'm asking does it look to you guys that this PSU has such a connector: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817159045 Yes it does, look at the manufacture's page http://www.coolmaxusa.com/productDet...egory=sin gle The photos make it very hard to tell for sure one way or another. Yeah, the connector photo has got that connector well hidden behind the others. It is there, above the main 24 pin connector, if you know its there. |
