explain this? I am just curious. You put some wires in the pins?

I notice some fellow members want to do their own PSU connector pin mod.
So....... here it is.

It's the pinout diagram (well, I *think* it's a pinout diagram... that or some 4-year-old got some crayons... ) for turning a 20-pin ATX motherboard plug into a 24-pin ATX motherboard plug. If you connect the wires coming out of the PSU and going into the indicated sockets with the four extra holes as indicated, your motherboard will be powered as intended.

However, you should be VERY sure that your PSU can put out enough power. Overloading the cables like that can be a fire hazard if you try to pull too much amperage through them.

NO! That wasn't crayons! That was MiMi's eyeshadow.
