4 pins cpu Y cabel safe?

ist safe to put 2 120mm fans in same 4 pin cpu fan on the motherboard z77a-s01/z77a-g45? or will it be to mutch and build up heat or something?
its for push and pull on cpu cooler.
or can u put the second cpu fan to sysfan1 and and control it there like the cpu fan i see they hade same settings but do they spin exactly like cpu fan i mean same controler from cpu temp?
Edit : the one i have now is max 2.28w and want to add one more

Yes it safe Xeedy
All 4pin or 3pin socket on mobo usually have max 1Ampere. Check your fan's power, looks like those will not produce beyond 0.70A I suppose.

4-pin CPU-PWR connector on x99s SLI Plus

I'm attempting to install a Kraken x-61 cooler into my Corsair 780T case and the MSI X99S SLI Plus mobo. One step says:
Connect the 3-pin power cable from the pump to the 4-pin CPU-PWR connector on the motherboard.
In the MSI x99S SLI Plus mobo and the manual (En-6) I can't find anything called CPU-PWR. The 3-pin power cable fits into the 4-pin CPUFAN1 connector, but I don't know if that's the correct connection. Could someone tell me where the CPU-PWR connector is on the MSI X99S SLI Plus motherboard?

it can be confusing to start with but you get used to it once you have done it a few times!
so yes connect it to the fan header for CPU as that line has a sense pin that will detect if your pump fails and will shut the computer off to prevent the CPU overheating to stop it breaking the processor! just take your time and anything your not sure of feel free to ask us!

2nd 8-pin CPU power connector on Big Bang XPower

I am currently using both 8-pin CPU power connectors and am wondering if it is really necessary with my current overclock. For all the BB XPower owners let me know your thoughts on this.

When doing early tests with the BB Xpwr, I only had a single 8 pin CPU connector ( PSU was single +12V Rail). Since it was not necessary but recommended, I purchase an 8 pin Y cord manufactured by Athena. It worked perfectly until I got a newer double cabled 8 pin PSU (Single +12V rail Corsair AX1200). I also supply power to the boards 6 Pin JPWR4. As Jack says, if the PSU has the connectors (or use the Athena), fill 'em up with power!

Computer starts for half-second then stops, starts with no 8 PIN CPU, what's wro

I'm dying here guys.
The build from hell continues.
I got a new heatsink tonight on my Core i7 build, threw it on, and proceeded to start. It started, but no video. Being as I had most of the parts out on a cardboard box, I moved the motherboard slightly over, and it shut off. I pressed the power buttons, and the LED's flashed, and turned off half a second later.
I pulled everything off of it, and had bare board, heatsink, and CPU. Nothing except the half second flash.
Tore everything off, CPU out, and inserted the 24 pin. Yes, it stayed on.
Put everything back. Stayed on.
Plugged the 8 pin CPU connector in, no. Flash and die.
Looked over the pins and thought nothing was wrong. One had a bit of AS5 on the tip but carefully cleaned it off.
So the only things I can think of are:
I killed my PSU
I killed my mobo
I fried the CPU
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've blown more money on this build than I wanted and I'm stuck with a brick now. I'm so frusterated right now it's beyond belief. I have never had a build go this wrong ever in 15 years.

8 Pin CPU Connector?

The P55-GD85 came with a little black thing covering the extra 4 holes on the CPU 12v connector - does that mean I don't need to plug anything into those?
The second CPU connector on my OCZ StealthXTreme doesn't match the holes on the extra slots, but does obviously match the main 4 ports.

Quote from: Wonkanoby on 18-January-11, 08:34:39
or they miss labelled them
are the other 2 identical
What do you mean? Those are the only two labelled CPU and there are no other 4pin connectors. The PCI-E are both 6 pin.

Bent Pins - CPU socket -Warranty Issue

Good day,
I hope this forum and it's experts can shed some light on a problem we have.
The situation:
We bought a Socket 1150 H81M-P32L Motherboard with power supply and CPU (with heat-sink & fan), the previous board died.
We installed the CPU, then the motherboard and power supply, tested all,ok.
The PC ran fir two days, no problem. Upon the 3rd day the PC was down, tried restarting but no power.
Investigated, tested the power supply-ok, the board was dead, no lights on board, no posting, dead, like a doornail.
We removed the board as is and took it to the supplier, they tested, still dead, removed the CPU and said there was bent pins on the CPU socket and they will not replace under warranty, and this is where the problem comes in.
Maybe the experts can tell me if:
The pins was bent from the getgo, will/could it have worked for two days?
The pins is bent will it cause the board to be completely dead?
(-see attached photos)
Please enlighted us with your thoughts and expert advice

Un-hid your attachments so everyone can see them now.
Is it possible? Sure, I would definitely say that it is possible.
Is it likely to happen? No, I would say it generally is not likely to happen.
The CPU sockets are very fragile now. And those pins can very easily become bent. I would wager that installing the CPU is probably the most important part of building a PC anymore.
That being said, there probably isn't a whole lot that you can do about it. You could try and do an RMA with MSI, but I'm honestly not sure how well that will go.

Control 3 pin cpu fan on Z77A-G45

hi, i have a Z77A-G45 motherboard and a cpu fan with 3 pin only (no 4 pin PWM),
the cpu fan is spinning at a high rpm all the time and no matter if its idle or cpu is extremely hot,
i couldn't get it to change using the bios hardware monitor's "CPU smart fan target",
nor with msi control center on windows.
i believe this is because the motherboard needs to be told to change voltage instead of pwm mode (this solved a similar problem on a gigabyte board),
how do i change the cpu speed from pwm to voltage mode?

Quote
is there a way to somehow "upgrade" my fan to have 4 pin PWM?
Buying a different (PWM) fan...

Kernel_Task pinning CPU

So I have been trying to find a scalable solution to this issue for some time now. Loads of complaints about it with various reported fixes with ACPI extension loading, switching in and out of energy saving settings...but none of these work for me.
I am running a 3.5 GHz 6 core Xeon E5 with 16 GB Ram Mac Pro. We bought this to use as our dedicated build server. Its running Xcode, some Java based tools we used to generate the c code from XML and thats about it.
If I use Xcode more than a few times the kernel_task spikes and turns this Ferrari into a Scooter with two fat people riding on it. Anyone else have the same issue or know of a real solution to this problem? This machine is brand new, no hardware failures, re-installed the OS 4 times... there is no reason for this crappy kernel_task behaviour.

Start up SpeeGrade, all is normal.
Add a clip to the timeline, the CPU usage jumps to 200% (both cores) and stays there forever, until I delete the timeline.
Any ideas?

Thank's - it was the RC_ChangeManager Plugin! - I removed it and there's now no notaceable CPU consumption of LR when sitting in the background.
It's really annoying that LR misses a lot of really tiny things that Adobe developers could implement them alltogether in only a some days. But no - you have to install lots of plugins, which lack of the poor LR api.
Well, the SDK is actually pretty complete, and quite powerful. Lr is a heavily threaded application, and this is exposed to some extent by the SDK. For plugin authors, this is really nice. It offers a way to make very powerful additions to Lr that don't belong in the core product, but behave as if they are.
But it means that a poorly written plugin can soak up a fair amount of resources. Note, however, that a plugin cannot totally steal all resources. There is a governor on that, so the worst you will see is this sort of problem -- annoying, maybe, but not disasterous.
And remember that the vast majority of plugins will use the tasks and threads handed to it from the application, and will never exhibit these symptoms. It is only some sorts of plugins written in a specific manner that would ever impact overall application execution profile. So, you could install many plugins and never see a change in behaviour whether 1 or 10 were enabled. But install and run one that cycles hard on blocking activity and you will see this problem.
There is always a trade-off. Plugins make the application very flexible, but with this flexibility comes some risk. There is no perfect solution and there never will be. (Adobe could never implement all plugin behaviour everyone would want as first-class features in the core product -- this is impossible.)

975X Platinum CPU Power

I recently bought a 975X Platinum (PowerUp Edition) and when i was getting ready to connect the CPU Power and I noticed that the board has an 8-pin molex connector, but 4 pins are covered up. So my question is should i use a 4 pin CPU power connector or an 8-pin molex for the CPU power? I don't want to damage the CPU so i've waited on hooking up the system.
Any help would be incredibly greatly appreciated. I've read the manual and it doesn't really specify why half the pins come covered up. So as soon as I can get some help on this I'll feel safe powering this system up for the first time

Use your 4 pin Cpu connection. Most Psu's don't have the 8 pin connector that is the reason for the cover, if you do have the 8 pin connector on your Psu you will find that it is a 4x4 pin connector that can be split off for mobos that only have the 4 pin socket. If that is the case you would use the 8 pin plug supplied.

Fans (cpu/case) run 1 second then cut off, computer won't start.

Pavilion A6614F, this computer is stock from the factory.
Orginal problem, fans would spin for 1 second, then cut off.
eliminated "Everything" from the Motherboard, same problem.
This computer was looked at by a computer shop and they couldn't fix it.
It was given to me to repair.
Power Supply checked good, but still tried new 850 w PS I had, same problem.
New Motherboard, (M2N68-LA (NARRA3)) same problem,
New Processor, Phenom 9500, in the new motherboard, same problem.
swap CPUs between Motherboards, changed battery, cleared CMOS, no help.
this is with nothing plugged into the MB, no USB, memory, wlan card, keyboard, mouse, "Nothing" but 4 pin cpu power and main board power plug, on/off switch.
It appear to be "shorted", but where, was the Motherboard isolate from the case by the factory, I never found any when I removed the MB.
I've checked the wires from the on/off switch to see if they were raw/shorting out, nothing that I could find.
I find it odd that the fans come on as soon as the power cord is plugged into the PS, and without pushing the start button, but they only spin for a second or two, then everything is dead.
The fan in the 850 watt PS stops spinning as well, which makes me think it's shorted, else why would two motherboards/CPU exhibits the same problems,
and what occurred with the original Motherboard that created the problem???
I even tried running the MB outside of the case and on the desk, no luck.
I've builded/repaired more computers than I care to remember, but this one is a major problem,
If this motherboard was not isolated from the case, ( it is not now ) or the on/off switch not bad,
It's possible I could have gotten a bad MB or CPU, but since the symtoms haven't changed, I don't think that is likely.
Any "suggestions", short of using it for target practice. lol

The original PS is working, light stays on after fans stop spinning.
I'm checking with a friend who may have a MB these CPU will fit in to see if they're working OK,
and maybe a CPU that is known to be working to try in these two MB,
That's about the only way I have of checking the MB and CPUs.
I've made a visual check of all Capacitors, none seems to have "blown their top".
I may not have made it clear in my first post, but the fans start to spin as soon as the power is applied to the PS, and this is without anything connected to the MB, not even the on/off switch, but they still spin for a second or so.
I don't know if this is a characteristic of all AMD MB, or a symptom of the problem.
If it was just a voltage surge to charge up the capacitors, then cut off, I could under stand it,
I mounted the old MB/CPU in another case but got the same results.
Personally, I'm as Intel man myself, and have a wide varity of intel MB/Sockets to check most of their products,
I've never liked AMD, and finding more justification for that everyday.
I appreciate the suggestions and help, if you have any other suggestion, I'd appreciate them too, I've ran out. LOL
When I do find the problem, and I will, sooner or later, I'll come back and let everyone know, I'd hate to see anyone else in this predicament.
Thanks again.

PC no longer starts, possible CPU failure?

My 875p Neo used to work fine, then suddently stopped working. Now when you give power to the box the set of D-Bracket LEDs are all showing red. (they initially flash briefly all green, then go red). No beep from speaker at all. Clearing the BIOS similar has no effect.
In checking the manual, 4 red LEDs mean a possible CPU failure. So I have tried reseating the CPU and now replacing it for a new one (3Ghz P4). Neither having any effect.
Is this likely that both of the CPU's had died (the 2nd one being brand new), or a m'board failure? Any help before I return the m'baord welcome.
Rest of machine is running pair of 120Gb RAID1 drives, + 9600XT graphics card.
regards
Al

Well I have to say that the Chances of Having 2 P4's that are Faulty is Pretty Slim Indeed . I assume that you have Checked the Powersupply and all of the Connections mainly the 20 Pin Main Connector and the 4 Pin CPU Connection?....I would try another PSU (Borrow one) Before Returning the Board..Please tell us What Brand and the Specs of your PSU ......Sean

P6N Diamond: CPU power connector(s)

My PSU is a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W. It has what appears to be both an 8-pin and a 4-pin CPU connector. The motherboard manual shows an 8-slot connector, but it came with a plastic tab on it which blocked 4 of the 8 slots. Neither manual (MB or PSU - the latter simply a fold-out piece of paper...) says anything about the apparent discrepancy. The tab on the MB is easily removed, which I did and connected the 8-pin PSU connector. I'll be running a E6850 CPU and two BFG 8800 GTS video cards. Can anyone shed some light on why there was this plastic tab over four of the slots? Should I be using the 8-pin connector, or the 4-pin. In all my previous builds, I've never had a choice. I'd rather not power up only to find I've made a mistake and fried everything.
TIA,
drachenfire

Modular PSUs may look nice and "improve" cable management, but they also introduce more points of resistance.

Dont bother, a zip tie is way better in the end!

Z97 Mpower CPU power connector

Hi I have a Z97 MPOWER with an 8-pin and a 4-pin CPU connector. My PSU only has a 4+4 pin. Is it one or the other or both? Do you use the 8-pin or the 4-pin, or is it recommended to use both? If both, which PSU do you recommend and can you use the 8-pin PCI-E for the 8-pin and 4 of the 4+4 only? Thanks.

Use the 8pin (4+4), the 4pin is for extra power if you OC to extreme.
