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.

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

K7N2G and 12v power connector

Hi all,
Do I have to connect the 12v power connector from my power supply to jpw1? Also is anyone experiencing any problems with lockups when pressing the reset switch?

yes,and no here

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 )

ATX 12V Power Connector

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.

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.

12v ATX Power Connector

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??????

the 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

12 V CPU power connector

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 thought id put them here to make it easy if there is any probs with these readings let me know but they do fluctuate eg 94-96 etc. they jump above by 4 or below by 4 dont know much about all these readings so excuse my lack of knowledge here ?(

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...

What PSU are you using?
What is the specs amps of the PSU?

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

ATX 8-pin Power Connector: JPWR2 12v power to CPU

MSI P67A-G43 (B3) motherboard, COOLER MASTER Elite Power Supply, Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz
I have two 4-pin power connectors coming from my power supply. Should I connect just one to the top of the socket as shown in this link
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?91bhhi1myt9f5zo
or should I hook both of them to the 8-pin socket?
I am waiting for a replacement for my i5 cpu. My new build wouldn't boot and gave a 5 beep code and then would immediately shut down. No display on screen. I'm hoping it's not the motherboard.
Thanks.

It should work with only 4, but if u have 8 pin connector coming from your power suply i would connect the other one too and be done with it.

KT880 Delta CPU problem?

Hallo,
i brought yesterday the KT880 Delta mainboard. My CPU is an AMD Thunderbird 1400 mhz, and my graficcard is a Radeon 9550. All components work, because i tested them on a other mainboard.
But when i put the power on, the radiators, the cd player become power, but i get no video signal and i don't hear the bios sounds. Where can be the problem?
saludo

Help please ..

You can test the memory by downloading this program,
http://www.memtest.org/download/1.40/memtest86+-1.40.floppy.zip
Creates a bootdisk which you must boot from. (Disk cannot be read in windows)
If the PSU cannot provide enough power then running the memory at a lower frequency can help, as 333Mhz uses less power than 400Mhz.
Test the memory at 333Mhz and see if you get any errors, maybe ask a friend to run the memory at 400Mhz with memtest.
If it does run at 400Mhz (200Mhz) without any errors then it is not faulty.
From this point forward you will always test any memory modules that you buy with memtest.
It is a very useful program.

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

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.
