What kind of power supply connector would you likely see attached to an older floppy disk drive?
If you have a floppy drive inside of your computer, you’ll notice that it has a very unique connector on it for power. This is a 4-pin connector. It’s relatively small. And we have generically just called this the floppy drive connector.
What does a Berg connector do?
Sometimes labeled on the cable as P7, the Berg connector is a power connection developed by Berg Electronics. It is used with computer power supplies that connect to floppy disk drives, front panel lights, and reset or turbo buttons.
What is an lp4 connector?
Molex connector is the vernacular term for a two-piece pin and socket interconnection. The connector typically has 2 to 24 contacts and is polarized or keyed to ensure correct orientation.
What is ATX 12v power connector?
The ATX 4-pin power supply connector is a standard motherboard power connector used to provide +12 VDC to the processor voltage regulator.
What is the 8-pin ATX connector for?
An ATX power supply provides a number of peripheral power connectors and (in modern systems) two connectors for the motherboard: an 8-pin (or 4+4-pin) auxiliary connector providing additional power to the CPU and a main 24-pin power supply connector, an extension of the original 20-pin version.
Do you need both 24 pin and 8 pin?
You need both. The 24 pin is for the entire board (RAM, PCI/PCI-e slots, fan headers, Chipsets etc), the 8 pin is just for the CPU.
Are all 8 pin connectors the same?
They are completely different. The EPS connector is meant to supply power to a motherboard cpu socket while the PCI express connector is meant to supply power to a GPU.
Does it matter what 8 pin I use for my CPU power connector?
It doesn’t matter whichever 8 pin connector you uses it meant for supply the power to the PCIe Graphics card to work as it require some amount of power from from PSU for the working but if you don’t want to add GPU in PCIe slot then the 8 pin connector is useless.
Can you put a 6 pin PCIe into an 8 pin?
Product Description. The Cable Matters 6-Pin PCI to 8-pin Adapter Power Cable provides a convenient solution for powering a video graphics card from a PSU with only a 6-PIn PCIe power connection. Power a new video graphics card with an existing 6-pin PCIe power connection on your PSU.
Is PCIe same as 8 pin?
no as the pin shapes are different so you cpu 8 pin will not fit into a 8pin pci-e port.
What is 8 pin PCIe?
This connector is used to provide extra 12 volt power to PCI Express expansion cards. This is an 8 pin version introduced with the PCI Express 2.0 specification released in January 2007. These high-power cards draw most of their power from the 12 volt rail so this cable provides only 12 volts.
Can I use 8 pin CPU on GPU?
So in theory the card should be absolutely fine. For reference, if the card has just an 8-pin connector, then if you powered it with an EPS12V, it would have been exposed to -12V which would have almost certainly have caused it to fry – and would probably also have taken the motherboard out along with it!
