Is AGP backwards compatible?

AGP cards are backward and forward compatible within limits.

What are three main categories of form factors used for motherboards?

The most common form factor is ATX, which evolved to mini-ATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and further. A different type of form factor, and smaller than the ATX is the ITX, which is significantly smaller than the micro-ATX.

What are the two most common form factors used today for computer cases?

version. The most common form factors used today are Advanced Technology Extended (ATX), micro ATX, and ITX. The form factors differ in size and configuration of the components on the motherboard.

What connector is used to provide an extra 12v power to the processor?

Also called the 20+4 Pin Connector, is the main motherboard power connector today. An auxiliary motherboard connector, which is used for extra 12-V power to the processor.

Can you plug a 6-pin into an 8 pin CPU?

There is no 6-pin connection there. A 6-pin would be for a video card.

Is Sata to 6 pin safe?

Short answer: yes, it will work. Longer answer: while it’s possible, you really shouldn’t do it. The 6pin pci-e connector is supposed to transfer up to 75w to the video card, so if you use a simple adapter that has a single SATA connector at one end, it’s not going to end well.

Is Sata to 8 pin safe?

Its generally not a safe way to get the amperage to the unit. Adapters are typically never a good choice, SATA and Molex are the two worst to use.

Is it safe to use Molex to 8-pin?

Reputable. Yes, using an adapter is safe. From personal experience I didn’t have the correct PCI-E cable so I had to get an 8-pin adapter to power up my MSI GTX 970. Works fine.

Is it safe to use 2 Molex to 6-pin?

Two molex to pci-e 6 / 6+2 would be safer as then you’d have at least two wires carrying current to the pci-e connector. With two molex connectors, each molex connector would carry half the maximum 75w watts, so around 38 watts or around 3.2A per wire, which should be quite safe.
