I'm not sure what the 6 pin CPU is for. But the 24 pin has 4 pins left over for a 12 volt connection exactly the same as a CPU connector.
ok, ya its an 8 pin cpu connector "XFX GeForce 8200 Motherboard"
but i dont understand why the 4pin psu works foe 8 pin cpu...
and why 20 pin psu works for 24 pin mobo...
whats the point of all the extra pins, if they're not really used?
and would getting a newer psu that utilizes the pin holes effect performance at all?
and do note that this is a running system and i am NOT asking if it will work.
Its all about extra power. The extra 4 pins on the 24 pin is a 12V/5V/3.3V and ground. The CPU 8 pin has two extra 12V and two extra grounds.
this is off topic, but i was just wondering when i'm done with a post, do i delete it or just let it go?
you leave it, this way people like me with to much time on their hands will go thruogh them to learn as much as they can about computers
but will having the "extra power" make a performance difference?
if i dont need them... why is it there?
i can post a full pin-mapping if you want
I couldn't wait to touch them
to smell them I held them
closely
And now I cannot break away
Their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapor in the desert
So take a warning ,son
