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 )

K7T Turbo2 12v power connector
I connected the 4 pin (jpw1) 12v power connector on my mobo to my 250 watt PS and the video dropped out. If I disconnect the 4 pin connector, it works. Should this be connected? If not, why is it there?
That connector is used to supply extra power to the cpu. If the system works fine without it being connected, no need to connect it IMHO.

Does anyone connect the ATX 12V power connector?
Does anyone connect there power connector to the ATX 12V connector? The 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU, or is that what the 20-pin connecter is for? The 12V connecter is usually next to the socket and has 4 pins. thx for the help 8)
plug the 4 pin in it should be more stable
update bios as well

KT880 delta 12v power connector
I just purchased a Kt880 delta and see that it has a 12v cpu power connector which my atx power supply does not have. do I need this connector?. The msi web site says it is used for p4's.
Yes, a new PSU is in order. The KT880 board relies heavily upon the 12V and 3.3V, while (like many newer boards) largely ignoring the 5V.
As mentioned previously, avoid cheap PSU's, as they cannot always deliver the power needed for modern systems. Many cheap PSU's use a high amp rating on the 5V rail, to claim they have a PSU that can deliver more juice, but they simply cannot run a newer system. -
Good morning everyone,
On my P35 Neo 2 FR the connector has 8 holes with 4 plugged out by a small piece of white plastic. When I assembled the machine I didn't think about it. I used the 4-prong cable to connect.
Does anyone know the use of the other 4 holes on that motherboard?
Have a nice day.Quote

If your power supply has an 8-Pin connector or an additional 4-Pin connector, you can take off the plastic cover and use all Pins of the mainboard connector.
If your PSU only has one +12V-CPU-4-Pin plug just leave it as it is now. There are adaptors but they are of no use whatsoever. You CPU will get enough power. -
Ive just modded my new power supply to fit my bespoke case, but the ATX 12v power connector(4pin) has a fault.
when connected it causes nasty noices through the speaker system like its got a break in the wires from the PSU to the connector on the board.
The question is......
I havent got it connect at the mo, the pc is running ok so do i need to use it??????

PS cant take the PSU back its got no case anymorethe 20 pin atx has 5x 5v feeds but only 1x 12v
this is because in the past 5v feed the vga card and the cpu
now modern vga cards lie yours feed of the 12v as does the cpu
now a pin on the atx moules i rated to 6a max giving 72 watts max
many amd cpu pull that on their own
this is why these and other boards have the extra 2x 12v feeds -
Computer wont start when 12V CPU connector is plugged in
Hello.
First of all, I'am from Norway so my english is perhaps not that impressive :P
I recently decided to upgrade my computer a bit and for now, these are the parts that are installed (only the nessecary parts for a startup is installed for now. Installing the rest as I see things are working) :
MSI PM8PM-V
Intel Core Duo 2 E6300
512 DDR2
120gb western digital
Geforce 6800 256MB
Now to the problem. On the motherboard there is a plug that is for (quote from the manual) "This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU" so in my little world this is an important thing to have. The problem is that if this plug is used/connected the computer does not start at all. Nothing happens what so ever. However if the plug is not connected the computer starts and is running fine but the monitor is dark and it's acting like it's in sleepmode (the monitor-LED is yellow not green as it is when it's active). So in other words I'am not getting any further...Quote from: Eirik87 on 10-December-06, 00:53:31

What PSU are you using?
What is the specs amps of the PSU? -
I just bought the K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard to replace my old ASUS one, and I found one problem. This new motherboard has a connector that just says:
ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
Now, my power supply does not have anything I can fit in that connector, is there any solution that does not involve buying a new one?
Thanks!Hi all
i just hooked up my 12v power connecter(little square plug next to main power plug) and all seems ok so far but i was wondering as you said jmbook1 some people have had problems hooking it up and i just wonder'd what type of probs can occur in doing this.??
my rails are on thread called dvd playback probs but were taken before hooking this connecter up so they may differ now?not sure will check later.

I just purchased a new KT2 Combo, new PSU(3.3v/28A 5v/30A 12v/15A), and a retail Athlon xp 2000+. I put it all together with just a Stealth 3 PCI and 256 PC133 ram, hit the power switch, but nothing moved. I got no powerup, no fans, nothing. So I tested my components, I switched CPU's, reinstalled the CPU, switch SDRAM, tried a different PSU, but nothing happened. I have the 133FSB set up, and have tried clearing the cmos a number of times, and still no power up. Does anyone have any insight into my dilema? I had a problem like this with another computer, but that just turned out to be poor attachment of the CPU.
Kevin JohnsonAs I read in this site a few days ago, most of the problems are from user´s fault. Try taking out the mobo, put it over an insulated surface, install CPU, little grease or heatsink pad, heatsink fan and one memory stick and connect P.S. (suppose the PS is working OK) If fan doesn't work, probably you have a fault Mobo. 8)

The additional 12V - 4pin power connector
Basically, I just have two simple questions:
1.) What is the above additional power connector for? (accoring to the voltage it should drive the CPU's cooling fan - am I right?)
2.) Will the GF4 MX440 8TX run if I do not have such a connector on my motherboard?
Can anybody help with that?it feeds 12v direct to cpu and it will not be stable without it
the gf4 means you need a good combined wattage
look for over 200 on a psu and 28a 3.3 v not 14 -
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.

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 youWorst 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. -

Need replacement for damaged power connector
The power connector (plug) for my 30" cinema display became irreparably damaged and I need to replace it. This is the connector that plugs into the power adapter.
This seems like a simple problem, but I have just spent a couple of hours trying to find a replacement connector or cable without success. There must be a way to do it.I am also looking for a cable for my 23". I have an easier problem than yours, as it is the cable at the DVI connector that failed. As a temporary repair, I have spliced on a generic DVI connector for a very ugly fix. I was quoted over $400 for replacing the entire cable at my nearest Apple Store. Building in the cable was a diabolical design. I am still searching for a wrecked display so I can salvage the cord.
In your case, you have a much easier splicing job if you can find a cable with a good power connector, but I can tell you that finding a cable is going to be difficult. I have been looking for almost a year. Good luck.
