| 519300 | 2007-01-25 22:20:00 | I am looking at this power supply from dse: www.dse.co.nz Am i know what the 6x 5.25" power connectors are(for the hard drives and dvd writers),but what are the 2x3.5" power connectors for? Are they for floppy drives? And it also says it comes with a Cooling fan connector which i'm assuming is for a case fan,so is the AUX connector where i connect the cpu fan too? ANd what is +12V power connector? |

ANd what is +12V power connector? 4 pin cpu power plug Did you spot the '+3.3V & +5V maximum load not to exceed 240W' ? Not SATA connections, no PCIe 1 connections! Cheap PSU are not a good investment. How many HDD, Optical, Fans do you have? Graphic's card? |

| 519303 | 2007-01-25 23:27:00 | www.ascent.co.nz Get this instead. The 12v connector they're saying probably means the 4-pin plug to supply power to the CPU. |

What kind of graphic card are you powering, new models require ATX v12 v2.0+, this one is only 1.3! The New Standard - ATX 12V v2.0 The latest ATX standard was divised in order to guarantee that new power hungry computer technologies such as PCI-Express, DDR2, and 3ghz+ processors would get the power they need in order to operate correctly. The most significant difference between ATX v1.3 and ATX v2.0 involves the splitting of the +12V rail. ATX v2.0 requires that in cases where the current requirement for +12V exceeds 18A, a second +12V rail must be included. By including independent 12V rails, a power supply based on the ATX v2.0 standard can provide stable and clean dedicated power to the motherboard/CPU on one rail and additional peripherals on the other. New to the ATX v2.0 standard is the change from a 20 pin (2x10) main power connector to a 24 pin (2x12) main power connector. This change was made in order to support the increased power consumption of PCI-Express graphics cards. Additionally, ATX v2.0 standardizes SATA power connectors, output protections, accoustic noise levels, and minimum efficiency. |

| 519305 | 2007-01-26 02:14:00 | I thought the new standard was 2.3 or was it 2.03? I think the 1.3 is still capable of supporting up to Geforce 7 series and Radeon X1K series? Or am I wrong? |

| 519307 | 2007-01-27 08:21:00 | I know an X1950 PRO approximately consumes about 66 watt....as www.extreme.outervision.com says.... But I don't know why the system requirement on most high-end video cards say they need 25+amps on the 12v rail.... |
