quick PSU question...

[DeathSlayer]

Is 20+4 pin connector the same as a true 24 pin? Is it just another name for it?

 

[sodcha0s]

It will work on either a 24 or 20 pin motherboard, as the name suggests, it uses 2 connectors.

 

[Yreka]

Yeah, how it works is there is an extra 4 pin connector snaps onto the ATX 20 connector to make it a true 24. If you are using it on a 20pin board, you just unclip it and tie it back out of the way.

 

[Zepper]

Yup, Yreka has it. Those are slick and the way some of them are implemented shows they actually put some thought into the design. There definitely is a difference in 20+4 connector housings. IAC, they shouldn't be making 24-pin PSUs any more without a 20+4 connector.

.bh.

Yep, the design on the few I've used is slick- the 20 pin w/ lock actually holds the 4 pin in place in a 24 pin socket so it can't come loose...
