K8D Master3 : SMB power connector

Hi!
I've bought the K8D Master3 motherboard, and there's a 5-pin SMB power connector on the motherboard. But my PSU doesn't include one. Will it work without using it? I'm having some trouble finding power supplies that have this connector.

Guess what, I never was able to figure out where it could be used for
You only need to connect 24 pin and the 8 pin headers, nothing else is needed.
(I think they are called JPWR1 and JPWR2)

K8D Master3-133 Expansion Rom Error

I have been using the k8d with:-
2x 248 opterons
2x 1024MB PC3200 ECC RAM
1x Highpoint RocketRaid 2220
I recently upgraded the BIOS to 9161v2.50 and now the BIOS complains about the Expansion ROM not being initialized on the RocketRaid controller. The Rocketraid BIOS screen also does not appear. I have tried moving the controller to other pci-x and pci ports however the same error appears.
However I tried plugging the RocketRaid controller into an old Gigabyte GA-7IXE motherboard and voila, no BIOS post error about expansion ROM and the controller BIOS screen appears as well.
I also tried plugging the controller into a Gigabyte GA-8ICXT which worked perfectly as well.
This leads me to believe that the problem is with the BIOS on the K8D-master3. I have tried downgrading the bios to 9161v2.20 but still get the same Expansion Rom error.
Regards R00n5t3r

hello,
power down PC and clear cmos(remove power cord from PSU before proceed)
re-test.
Highpoint RocketRaid 2220 has worked fine before BIOS update? if yes what was provisional BIOS version 2.20 or different one?

K8D Master3-FS not seeing 8GB of RAM

Hopefully someone can help with this frustrating problem.
Motherboard: K8D Master3-FS
CPUs: 2 x dual-core opteron 270's
BIOS: P9161MS v2.50 052505 (mobo MS-9161, bios 2.50)
Here's the problem:
We have 8 x DDR400 1GB PC3200 ECC 400MHz registered dimms.
We also have 4 x 512MB DDR dimms (don't know the exact speed, etc, but here's the description on the dimms: "9965128-011.A02 KVR400X72RC3A/512D, 1754463-0507095").
I'd like to be able to use all of this memory, but at the very least use
the 8x1GB ram to get 8GB RAM.
My experience so far:
a) Fill banks 1-8 with 8x1GB DDR400 -- machine does not boot (blank screen).
b) Fill bank 1-4 with 4x1GB DDR400 -- boots OK with 4GB RAM.
c) Fill banks 1-6 with 6x1GB DDR400 -- boots OK, but with only 3GB RAM
d) Fill banks 1-8 with 8x1GB DDR400, and fill banks 9-12 with the other 4 x 512MB dimms, then machine does not book - blank screen.
I thought I'd need to upgrade the BIOS, but this URL indicates I'm using the latest (even though the BIOS *date* differs) http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=560&kind=3
Supposedly the mobo can handle 24GB of memory, but I cannot even get 8GB!
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Well, I'm very sorry to say, but that PSU is far from suited to run that board with.
It's one of those multiple-lines, basicaly the worst you can get to power such systems.
You better try the OCZ Powerstream 520W with that board, that has a nice single 12V Rail with 33A on it.
Yours is way too light on each rail to handle it properly, because you can't add the rails together, and that's the big problem.
Don't buy that AOpen, it will not do it either!
However, I use a couple of Opteron servers myself, and I only use PC-2100 & PC-2700 on them.
I have tried using PC-3200, but it's way to expensive and the performance difference is way too little to notice, except in benchmarks, but who does that
Also, those boards are not mid-range, they are low-range (very fast, but low range)
If you want mid range, you need to look at boards that can handle 4-8 Opterons, but still with loads of memory, you need to use PC-2100 or PC-2700 to be sure it will handle it.
As said before, the Opteron can only handle a certain ammount of memory banks at given speeds....no matter what board you take.

Computer won't power up if the 2x2 CPU POWER connector is plugged in

Yesterday I assembled this computer and it was working great. Played games on it and everything.
MSI K9a2 CF, ATHLON 5000+, LC POWER 550W, RADEON 3850 256MB, 2x1G SUPER TALENT 800MHZ RAM.
3 hours ago I went to the store and left 2x PRIME95 torture test running just to check for stability. After 2hours I got home only to find out the the computer has been shut down but the KEYBOARD still had a light on the NUMLOCK led.
So then I unplugged the PSU from power and started up again. But the PC only started for half a second and then the power went off.
So I pulled everything out of the board only to find out that if the CPU POWER 2x2 connector is in the board then it will not power up. Then I also took out the cpu and try to power up without the CPU and with the CPU POWER 2x2 connector in and it also doesn't power up.
Conclusion:
If the 2x2 CPU power connector is in the MB regardless if the CPU is in or not then the computer will not power on. But if the 2x2 CPU power connector is absent then the computer powers up. But that don't do me any good since without that connector the CPU can't function.
I also tried hooking it up to another PSU but it does no good. The MB, CPU, GPU, RAM, HDDS are only 2days old.
Also it couldn't have overheated since the temperatures never went higher than 50C during full load thx to Scythe Ninja Revision B cooler and also there is no smell or any indication that something could be burned. The temps were checked with BIOS as with MSI probe.
My question is is the MB the problem?? So I would know which part to send back for warranty

Do you use system stock parameters?(No OC)
Check CPU cooling system.
List PSU details(Look over PSU sticker for them)
Everything was at stock speed there was even no tweaking involved.
CPU cooling system was working great. Under load the max temperatures it had gotten was 50C. And also the CASE was opened so there was no chance of overheating. And also when I started PRIME95 I opened the window and closed the radiators which means the room temperature was about 15C celsium only.
LC POWER 550w 140MM fan.
3.3v 35a
5v 40a
12V 16a
12v 18a
It is probably the board right? I must know this quick to RMA it

Dx4-1548dx notebook -power connector is not working.need replacement/ fixing? any idea?

This is my second HP laptop malfunctioning as many years. Power connector (slot where you plug in power cord) goes off and on at will. Laptop totally useless if I cannot charge the battary. Look like I have to toss the laptop. May be somebody out there can help me save my computer. Thanks.

Sir,
I tried out with another charger but of no use. Also I tried out with the following steps suggested by HP:
1) Flee power discharge.
2) Remove and reseat RAM/HDD.
1 thing:
Also, sometime back, I contacted a service center for this problem, and they informed me that there is a transistor iin power line of the laptop which is not working. And we need to replace the laptop's mainboard to rectify the problem.
Thanks.

Can I get an additional power connector for a HD inside my MacPro?

Hello,
I have a MacPro Early 2009 with all HD bays full and both optical drives full. I have a Apricorn Velocity Solo x2 with 512 GB SATA III SSD and the card has an additional SATA port for my additional 2TB HD SATA III that I would like to make into a Fusion Like Drive. My question is: Is there any way to get power to that 2TB HD? Please let me know and if you have the cable I would need to purchase. Thank You,
John

Not true. There are SATA connectors that carry both data and power. There are motherboards that use separate power and data cables for SATA drives. Your question stated:
Please let me know and if you have the cable I would need to purchase.
This clearly is a request for someone here to see if there is a cable we could sell to you. That would imply you are asking Apple the question. It's not my fault that you were not clear in what you asked.
Nevertheless, my response is just as applicable to one form of cable as to another. If you have no available power connection in the computer, then you need to split one that you are currently using. This could either be the SATA power connector or it could be a Molex power connector as used on older SCSI or ATA drives.

MSI N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack - LEDs near power connectors

Hello
I've searched this forum and the web, but i didn't found the answer.
I just recently bought this VGA. It works all right, but there's 6 led on the back of the card and two of them are glowing red when power connectors are plugged in.
I just want to know if this is just an indicator that the card is receiving power thru power connectors (when i put them out, they turn off) or if it's indicator that somethings not right (you know, the red color ).
This is my pc:
MB: Asus Sabertooth i55
CPU: Intel i5 760
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB
power supply: Silent Pro Gold 700W
etc
Power usage shouldn't be the problem, got 2 HDD and 1 SSD and 4 fans (i used couple of web power, all of them showed value around 520W).
I've tried connect the card like 3 or 4 times (plugged with 2 separated cables from supply, connected only by "hard installed cable", conect it via one modular cable etc.), the card's 2 LEDs are always on (it's LED1 and LED2).
Thx in advance for any info.
John

New FX5900 TD128 - Power Connector?

Hello everyone,
I just bought a new FX5900 TD128 card to replace my FX5600, but before I install it, could abyone tell me what the power connector on the card is for? Do I need to connect it to the power supply, or is there some other specific purpose for it? Sorry if its a silly question, but I don't want to risk damaging my new card and the manual does not mention it at all.
Grateful for your advice.
Thanks
Orcnobeard.

I measured the current drawn from it, something like 3A from the 12V and 3A from the 5V so that's about 50W, way more than just powering the fans.
The card will work without the plug, but the fans won't spin and the card will prevent you from entering 3D mode to prevent overheating.

UMI-7772 position power connector part number

We lost an UMI-7772/7774 4-position power connector (power input connector for V, C, Viso and Ciso). Anybody knows what is its part number and manufacturer?

Hi Ben,
The power connector is a Mini-Combicon 4 position connector. The part number is 761785-01. You will have to call the Service Line to get pricing and availability. You can get these from Digikey, which might be a better option for these.

Hi Frank, thanks for the answer. The 761785-01 link is not working (probably only available to NI employees) and a search for 761785-01 on the NI website returns nothing found.

KT2 COMBO, Is 12v power Connector Needed?

Just Bought a "KT2 COMBO" to upgrade mi good old 6330 lite, and add some 2100 DDR Ram, and a new xp processor ( 2000+ ).
The problem is I'm using the same case, and the power supply in it has no 12 V ATX Power connector.
In the Quick User Guide, it refers to it (p 2-9), saying it's to provide power to the CPU.
Would the system work ok if I use only the main power connector?
Has anyone tried using it this way?

If you don't have stability problems it's probably fine.
You can buy an adapter to allow you to convert a mulex ( like you plug into an HDD ) to the 4 pin 12V plug.
If you don't have one you might try looking in local shops for butn out PSUs that have them, cut the wire and solder it to your PSU's output ( yellow to yellow, black to black )

ThinkStation P700 - adding a third-party video card: supplementary power connectors?

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a ThinkStation P700 to replace my ageing setup and hopefully serve me for many years to come - It has not yet arrived (that's a different story altogether...).
I have a bit of a dillema regarding the video card I purchased for it. For my work I need CPU, much less so GPU, and especially not a Quadro. So for pure pleasure I added a GeForce GTX Titan Black (yes, I know that Lenovo will will not provide support for stability issues caused by this, etc, etc). I have the card already - here's my problem:
The card uses external power - it has one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCIe power connector on top of the board. With adapters I can get this to three 6-pin or multiple Molex, etc. The motherboard and the PSU in the P700 however, are so well designed and modular, that they almost seem too modular... I looked up the motherboard layout in the manual, and there are only 4-pin (?) connectors on the board, which are supposedly meant to be used with video cards. After a very long session with google it seems that hardly anyone has even heard of 4-pin power connectors for PCIe. Looking at pictures of the chassis available online, everything seems completely self-contained - the PSU slots into the board, and there are no free-hanging cables available whatsoever - am I right? Also pictures showing two full-size video cards installed, do not show power cables at all - maybe they're just cute marketing pics - the Quadros have power ports at the back - I simply can't see power cables in those pics, and the motherboard sockets are free. Obviously I know that the 4-pin, 6-pin and 8-pin are only combinations of 12V rails and ground.
So my questions are:
- are there any 6-pin or 8-pin connectors or Molex available anywhere at all?
- is there a spare part in the form of a 4-pin to 6-pin adapter? Is it perhaps bundled with the P700?
- how are the Lenovo-integrated video cards powered - surely with how thin the PCIE tracks are, they can't be powered only from the board - or can they?
- is this perhaps a joke on me / catch to make sure I only buy the pre-approved cards?
Thank you in advance.

owczi
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Now THAT was lots of info, and more. Much appreciated.
1. Power connectors - Indeed, Titan (Black) is 8 + 6 - so I'm happy with the info I got from you guys so far.
2. Specs listing dual K6000 - this site (looks like a Lenovo site?): http://thinkstation-specs.com/thinkstation-p700/ - there's a PDF with the same info there. This even says 3 x K6000 in SLI. I mean the board physically has three long slots, and three of those 4-pin ports that according to the manual have something to do with power - but I can't see this working. The psref site says K6000 (one) but the online shop will not let you configure the P700 with one - unless some other options preclude it and that's why I didn't see it.
3. CPU - I have no need for dual CPUs right now so I went for a single E5-1650v3 - I bought the P700 not P500 just so that I have an upgrade option, I may not use the second socket in the end but who knows.
4. Yes, I got the 9364-8i card (plus supercap module) - is this a Lenovo-specific model? Hard to find anything about it online - or is it just new? The blind mate assemblies are good news. So not much different to server-type drive caddies in the end - minus hot swap maybe.
5. Regarding the drives - are the internal (not front - the bottom ones) drive bays also referred to as FLEX bays? Theye are four of them and I intend to use four drives only ( 2x 240G SSD RAID 1 pre-installed + 2 x 4TB RAID 1 mine) - so why do I need to stick two drives into one tray - or is this just if I wanted to maximise the number of drives usable? The 4TB drives are HGST UltraStar 7k4000 - standard, full-thickness 3.5". The SSDs are Lenovo's whatever - the "240G SSD" option - Intel I think, looking at psref.
6. Shipping delays - see, this is the sort of concrete info I was looking for and I'm immensely thankful for this.
The rest is a rant/vent someone from Lenovo should read.
So - in the meantime I started giving Lenovo UK & Ireland some abuse over Twitter (sorry, but well deserved IMO) - name and shame does wonders in the age of social media.
Had I been told something along the lines of "sorry, new product, build issues, we're working on it", I would have (reluctantly) shut up and waited for my turn. I'm an engineer myself, supporting systems where minutes of downtime cost hundreds of thousands, and working with vendors a lot. Delays and issues happen, when an engineer tells me there's an issue and I don't sense B/S, I accept it.
If the product is still wet, don't open it for orders or say it's pre-order. I can see that in the US the P700 is still "coming soon", in the UK it suddenly became available so I ordered it.
However, the process here is broken: Lenovo UKI (is it the same in the US?) uses DigitalRiver as the shop/shipping/support front end. That's all well and good, outsourcing does work in some cases. BUT there's no way to view the estimated shipping dates - only customer support can retrieve them from Lenovo (why can't they just make this info available online - to avoid people over-relying on it?)
The Customer Support cannot tell me anything. The only thing they can do is pull an estimated shipping date out of some magic 8-ball. Two weeks pass since order, I ask CS, they give me Dec 18th shipping date. I call them on the 22nd, on the call with me they tell me it's now magically the 22nd. Come on...
Throughout all this time I got zero notifications about anything happening with the order, as far as the Lenovo site is concerned, it's "in process" since Nov 29. Do you know that when I order a Domino's pizza from round the corner, I get a live animated progress screen from order through assembly, baking, QA and delivery?
Yes, it costs money and yes, businesses pushing more consumer grade disposable **bleep** than anything else, don't care about customer loyalty anymore, but why don't you at least show the high-end customers some respect - why can't you implement a tracking process for custom builds, or at least keep people updated?
I specifically chose the Lenovo P-series because I have no doubt that they are the best on the market. Dell don't offer the same storage options and customisation options. HP are not up there either. Fujitsu Siemens make great machines with straightforward hinged doors and drive bays behind them, but they have a **bleep** distribution model i.e. via specialised resellers only, making it near-impossible for a regular mortal to buy - at least in the UK. So the sad thing here is that I will most likely just wait and you'll still get my money - but if the official channels keep treating me like an idiot, I am very tempted to take my $4k somewhere else.

Z97 MPOWER MAX AC power connectors... are all required?

I am building a system with an i7-4790K and the Z97 MPOWER MAX AC board. I see that it has 4 different power connectors:
24-pin (manual calls it JPWR1)
8-pin (two 4s side-by-side JPWR2)
4-pin (JPWR3)
6-pin (JPWR4)
As I understand it, JPWR4 (the 6-pin) is optional and can supply power to things.
My question is: are the other three REQUIRED? What is JPWR3? I do not have a 4-pin connector that I can see in my Seasonic X-560 Gold which is Haswell compatible according to Seasonic.

It's very nice motherboard I have to say, will serve well

Macbook pro Retina 15" a/c power connector melting

hello everyone!
not sure if anyone can assist here and have knowledge of past experience or even apple support calls resolution about my issue with my Macbook pro retina 2012 model --- the magnetic power connector from the magsafe 2 is overheating and has burned out 2 out of 5 pins on the connector itself and 2 of the laptop one i can clearly see them black and all burned out. this means the power to the laptop is now inconsistent and i have to giggle withe the adaptor to find the right position and once i do the light goes from green to orange after a few attempts --- but then the connect gets really hot ( as much as i can not touch it again )
question:
the laptop is out of warranty --- this seems to me a fault or a unique issue with this machine a/c power would it be looked at by apple support as a special out of warranty?
if not what would be the costs of repairing both he magsafe 2 (i have bought one now on the web ) and repairing the laptop power connection to ensure it does not happen again and burns out the machine or even god forbid it catches fire?
regards

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Need Power Connector Cable for ATI Radeon X1900 XT

I need the 6pin power connector/cable for my ATI Radeon X1900 XT to work with my Mac Pro.
I can't use the card as I lost the small cable pior to installation and now I can't find one anywhere.
It is the 6 pin cable that connects into the Radeon X1900 XT and the other end into the Mac Pro motherboard.
Can someone help me?
Thank you

Worst service ever at the local(Canada) Montreal/Laval Apple Store........''go ask ATI or call Apple, etc....''
that was helpfull
I go to Apple because it is an Apple card and I get service like I was asking for a PC.
Typical of Apple, you buy their stuff then they turn your back on you in case that you need some help.

Internal hard drive power connector?

Just picked up a Maxtor 500 Gig SATA and the power connector that came with the drive is a four-pin? Please help if I am missing something... my G5 has a data and power connector at the bottom of the lower drive bay, but the power connector looks like a 15-pin similar to that on the drive itself. Do I need an adapter? I keep reading posts about how obvious the installation is but I am totally vexed! Is that my G5 is a first generation the problem?
Thanks

Thank you for the reply. However, my problem remains.
The power and data fit into the drive, and the data cable correctly fits into the G5 data interface, but the power connector supplied with the drive has a female 15 pin connector for the drive and a male 4 pin to the G5. But my G5 seems to have a 15 pin female connector for power. Also contradictory to everything I have read, the power connector from the G5 is not hidden underneath the drive bay, it is right in front of it. I am not an idiot, but I feel like one
Please let me know if I am missing something or if I have the wrong power connector...
