Need help finding a new PSU for older setup.

[BChico]

I have an older Gigabyte motherboard that requires a regular 20pin atx and 4pin cpu connection, but also requires a 6pin aux power connection.

From what i have found online these PSUs are considered "atx v2.03."

Newegg lists the following PSUs as being v2.03 compliant, the startech ones look somewhat decent, but there are no major suppliers coming up.

Does anyone know if the big players still make PSUs with the 6pin aux connection?

Actually you need an ATX V1.3. Stating with the ATX 2.0 they did away with the 6pin AUX and added 4 pins to the main power connector. Here is a good bit of information about PSU connectors and the different ATX versions.

Now ATX 1.3 PSUs will be hard to find since its such an outdated spec but i did dig one up for you.

Good match. PowerQ is the Fortron/Sparkle consumer line, and they're OK- not crap.

It doesn't look like that one has the 6-pin aux power connector.

I read somewhere else online that the standard I am looking for is ATX 2.03 (not sure if that is an accepted standard or not).

These have all necessary connections, any recommendations on which to go with?

TD is the only place I could find that still has these.....if you are looking for a new PS

I have 3 of these running in highly abused overclocked P4 systems......never a bit of problem over MANY hours and the price is right with lifetime manufacturer warranty....if you are interested....hell, they even look very good if you have a window

ATX 2.03 is the latest ATX spec and doesn't have the 6 pin aux which wasn't used or needed by the motherboard most of the time. The last spec that had the 6 pin aux was the ATX12V 1.3 spec. Like i said most motherboards that have a 6 pin aux on them don't really need them so any PSU should be fine for your system. Many new PSUs 24 pin main connector can have those extra 4 pins separated from the connector to fit your 20 pin connector. Or they can hang off the side as pictured in that link i gave before.
