thermaltake 430w

[Aolish]

I have never used this 20+4pin psu on a 24 pin mobo. Do i just put in the 20 pin connector into the mobos 24 pin ATX power connector then put in the 4pin?

EDIT: Everyone is telling me the extra 4pin goes into the cpu connector, however the 4pin is tied right on the 20 pin main connector and its no where gonna reach it. Does anyone have any insights on this?

EDIT 2: A quick description on how the plugs are labled. the main connector says 20+ with an arrow ----> and the 4pin thats tied to it says 4P with an arrow <----

clip the 4pin on the side of the 20 pin, theres small rails that connect, then plug in to the mobo

20+4 pin plugs right into the motherboard.

Are you using a motherboard that has the 24pin connector? if not, detach the 4pin from the main 20pin and do not plug that 4pin into the cpu 4pin connector. There another 4pin connector that design to go into the cpu 4pin connector. Sometimes that 4 pin connector is label like 12v atx plug or somethen like that.


tell us what powersupply you have.

look at the 5th image, you can see how its connected on the left side

thats the thing tho, there are NO RAILS of anykind to connect the 4p to the 20pin.

 

[yh125d]

wait, are there 2 square 4pin connectors coming out of your psu? or just one?

 

[Aolish]

there are two but the other one is for the cpu connector, the thing is the 4pin that is dangling off the side of the 20 pin is more then likely the ones you guys are talking about, but it has no clip or rail design to put it together with the 20 pin.

 

[yh125d]

then just slip in the 20 pin, and then slip in the 4 pin, you may have to twist it a bit, but it should go in

yh125td: i got that one (but at another link) the picture they show with the 4pin connected to the 20pin does not look like that on mine. I got no kind of clip of anykind u see there. this is the exact link where i got the tt 430w: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153023

EDIT: I don't believe this, i gotta return this just because i didn't get a small rail or clip thingy?

 

[yh125d]

just try to put the 20 pin in the mobo, then the 4 pin

and the psu in that link has rails on the 20pin, so maybe you got a different one than you bought?

 

[Aolish]

neither of them have anykind of rail or clip on them to connect them both together.... i provided the exact link i ordered right above yours. thats just great this is the second thermaltake im actually bringing back, the first time was a couple of years ago, i wasn't getting normal voltage ratings and now this. Thats it, im done with TT
