Enermax EG365P-VE has no p4 connector?

[slag]

I am staring at an Enermax 365p power supply that has no p4 connector. How is this possible? It says right on the power supply that it meets P4 requirements, but there is no p4 connector.

Ideas, Suggestions? I have a bad ps with a 4 pin p4 connector on it. Can i somehow splice that onto the enermax ps? The p4 connector on the bad ps has 2 yellow and 2 black cables. How would those connect up to a normal molex connector cable?

Very odd.

I think I remembered that mine had one

Anyways SVC sells a molex-to-4 pin p4 connector that should work for you. You can probably try to splice it yourself too. It'll work.

I thought Intel was moving away from the 4 pin connector because it wasn't necessary for newer boards?

mine has it.

My enermax has it also... though it's on a 431watt.... I've always assumed it to be on all of them in that series...

I just got a gigabyte board that requires one. It came with the board.

Sounds like you may have an older unit- that model predates the P4. If you bought it locally, take it back, trade it in. If not, get an adapter as suggested, they're widely available. Contact the vendor in any case, they might ship an adapter no charge to resolve the issue..

Not all boards/processors actually require the use of the p4 connector, particularly with lower speed grade procs. Better safe than sorry, though.

And, yeh, the p4 connector from your old supply could be soldered/spliced into the new one, but it would void the warranty, and you apparently don't have the equipment/experience or you wouldn't have asked...

I can solder with the best of them, but I want to make sure I have the corresponding wires matched together. I'll have to check my other ps and see how its set up.

I bought the ps on ebay a year ago and am not worried about a warranty.

The color code on pc power supplies is universal, so solder away...
