Platinum 975X and 20-Pin Power plug

Will my Platinum 975x run correctly using an older ATX 20-pin power supply? Please advise. Thank you, Rick

Also, does your power supply have a 4pin ATX connector or 8pin EPS connector (+12V)?  You may be able to supplement power to the 975X by using the 4/8pin JPW connector and the 4pin (molex) JPWR connector to make up for the lost 4 pins on the 20pin ATX.  But I'd really hesitate to go this route, even if you have a very minimal configuration with low power demands.
I'm more inclined to suggest that you just replace your PSU.  Whichever model you have, the 20pin ATX connector marks it fairly outdated.  There are many excellent PSUs available nowadays at very affordable prices.  There's a great thread in the Off-Topic Technical forum started by connlaoi with a list of PSU Recommendations.

  • MSI 975X Platinum POE and 6-pin power connection

    Hi,
    I have seen a number of topics somewhat related to my problem, but I am still unsure.
    I have an MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition main board, and I recently bought a NorthQ 4775-500S power supply to replace my current Hiper HPU-4M580. A good PSU, but too noisy for my taste.
    Anyway, when installing the NorthQ PSU, I noticed that it has a 6-pin connector, I think it is a PCI-e connector. The main board, however, has an 8-pin connector, called JPW in the manual:
    "The JPW 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU" 
    The 6-pin plug from the PSU seems to fit nicely in the 8-pin connector. After reading some other posts, I started to remember that 4 pins of the JPW connector were indeed blocked by a removable plastic chip, which I did remove to make room for the 8-pin plug from my previous PSU.
    So, I think I can use the 6-pin plug in the 8-pin socket, but I want to ask you guys first; Will this be correct and safe, or should I get a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter, or even a 6-pin to 4-pin adapter?
    Thanks in advance!

    "The 6-pin plug from the PSU seems to fit nicely in the 8-pin connector"
    No don't do that.
    If your PSU don't have 8pin power cable for the CPU, use the 4pin power cable instead:
    But do NOT connect PCI-E power cable(6 pin) in CPU power socket.

  • D10 - Voltage of 10 pin and 8 pin power connector

    Dear All
    I got a D10 here, the power supply suddenly stops to work this afternoon, I have already called my brother in US to find me FRU parts. But this might take one week or longer, I borrow a big 850W PSU from my colleague, but it doesn't have 10 pin and 8 pin power connectors on it. I know the voltage used by computer internally are 3.3V, 5V and 12V. Just wondering, what voltage shall I supply to these 10 pin and 8 pin connectors?
    I sent the demaged one for recycling,..
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Andres
    Solved!

    If you're talking about the 2x4 and 2x5 connectors used to power video cards, those are +12V.

  • My imac desktop 9.1 the fan keeps running..i have turned off and also pulled power plug but it still runs

    the fan on my imac9.1 keeps running..i shut it down and pulled the plug..did not help

    The fan minimum speeds are about 1200 rpm, so if the Mac is powered on and not sleeping, they're running.
    An iMac's exhaust fans will not run if its power cord is disconnected. If that's what you meant to write, you're hearing something else.

  • NX7800GT 6 pin power plug proprietary?

    I have an Antec case/power supply.
    The power supply has a dedicated 6pin power connection for a PCI-express card.
    The pins don't match up wit hthose on the video card.
    I called support and they said it was a proprietary connector on the MSI card and to use the 6pin to 2 molex adapter.
    can someone confirm this?  And WHY!????? not use a standard connector?
    Does anyone know of a proprietary 6pin to standard 6 pin adapter?

    Look at MSI:
    Evga:
    XFX:
    etc.
    They are all the same. The info you were given is just wrong.
    Take Care,
    Richard

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
    Also considering if the battery need replacing!

    MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before?  I've only had this for about 3mos.  I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

    Hi S,
    Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

  • Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

    Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

    Grumpy Gator,
    Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
    And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
    If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
    Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
    Hope this helps.

  • Interference between the MBA and the airplane in-seat power plug

    I wanted to check if some of you had a similar problem recently:
    Comfortably sitting on a 15+ hours Air Canada flight between Vancouver, Canada and Sydney, Australia, I was looking forward to experiencing my MacBook Air for a longer period of time. After a few hours of usage, I needed to recharge the battery. Good news, there was a 110V power plug in the seat, so I connect my power adapter. And then, I get a huge surprise… the multi-touch trackpad starts behaving in a very strange way… the cursor starts jumping across the screen, when in the finder, the desktop icons change sizes… and as soon as I disconnect the power, everything is back to normal. I was therefore able to watch a movie on the Air, but every time I needed to move the cursor, I had to disconnect the power cord first???
    I tried this again on my flight back, and if the problem is still there. I reported it to Apple Support in Canada earlier today. It sounds really strange that a sub-notebook designed for road-warriors could have problems when used in a typical scenario for the target audience.
    (Originally posted on my blog - http://blog.metrailler.net)

    Yes, I've seen those symptoms. My Air only arrived yesterday, and the trackpad behaved this way from the first time I turned it on - jumpy or non-responsive when plugged in, but fine when running from battery. Long story short, I called Apple and we spent about an hour testing various things to prove it wasn't a software problem. Apple pronounced it DOA and advised me to bring it to the nearest service center for repair/replacement.
    But after I called Apple, I plugged it in somewhere else, and it works fine even when plugged in. It was originally plugged into a UPS. Any other plug in the house and it works fine -- indeed, it even works fine when plugged into my other UPS. So there's something wrong with the power that UPS is putting out, and the same thing must be wrong with the plane you were on. (Or all planes?)
    My dilemma now is that I don't know if this is just a characteristic of the trackpad, or if it's a hardware defect and I should get this one replaced after all. I did have an MBP (and other laptops) plugged into the same UPS before and none of them had any trackpad issues.
    I found some posts elsewhere that suggest there's a grounding problem that can mess with the trackpad, so maybe this is a hardware problem? But I also found something from Apple that warns that third-party power supplies can mess up the trackpad, so maybe my UPS, these third-party power supplies, and your planes all have the same problem.
    I'm going to call Apple back tomorrow and see if second- or third-level support has any advice given this new information.
