2002 PC power supply connectors explained

[wrathofsixx]

parts in the tower are so hard to get out i swear its like their super glued lol thx

[MrTpengineer]

Uh that 6-pin connection on my old Dell goes to the motherboard, but it also does graphics cards??? I though older graphics cards had molex connectors?

[jonnyGURU]

@MrTpengineer NO! That's a different kind of 6-pin called an AUX connector. The PCIe 6-pin connector is only +12V and ground. Your AUX connector has +3.3V, +5V, etc. Totally different.

[MrTpengineer]

@jonnyGURU 1:13 that hooks up to the Dell motherboard in order for it to work, tried it with a graphics card but the graphics card had a molex connection, looked up the connector online and never found one card from 2002 that used that type of connection.

[jonnyGURU]

@MrTpengineer This video was shot back in 2002. PCIe power connectors didn't exist back then!!!

[MrTpengineer]

@jonnyGURU Ok, the Dell is from 1998. you confuse me :( lol

[MAnGaThaBOy]

12V wire that goes to motherboard is the only 12V wire coming out of power supply?

[jonnyGURU]

@MAnGaThaBOy: No. ALL of the yellow wires carry +12V.  This one is called the +12V power connector because +12V is all that it supplies.

I need help, my power brick just faulty, i got a Motherboard that powers 150 watts only and i got a 400 watts pc power supply...will the extra power fry my motherboard after long hours of running?? I'm frighten that my house catch fire. Pls help...

[seatondosher]

I have a question. If i were to accidently plug wires in to the wrong spots, would it do any damage to my pc?

[simonphilipsmusic]

@seatondosher

connectors are keyed with little notches in the corners, so you don't connect them the wrong way by mistake.

[St3althRage]

Plz help me I have a power supply and I need to know if you can just plug it into the wall for it to work

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

wrong... most newer computers have 24 pin, i do in both... and they are core 2 duo, but it's 1 processor...

and the agp pro thing is like obsolete, now we have 6 or 8 pin...

[Karletto555]

so red wire on hard drive must be 12V? mine is 32.9V. is this OK?? it's old pc, pata hd

[jonnyGURU]

No.. red is +5V. Not sure where you're getting 32.9V from.

[PorscheLieber]

Thanks for the video!

BTW is a 650 Watt PSU suitable for Intel 865DPERL MotherBoard, 2 HDD's and 2 CD Roms?

[jonnyGURU]

No processor or graphics card? Sure! More than enough.

[PorscheLieber]

LOL! come on, you know what i mean.

Of course there's a processor and a graphics card, and they're: Intel 2.8 Ghz 1 MB Cache and Nvidia GeForce 6200 256 MB AGP

[OKaeporaGaeboraO]

How big are the HDDs? Also what processor is it? It should be more than enough I think.

[PorscheLieber]

Intel 2.8 Ghz 1 MB Cache processor.

160 GB and an 80 GB HDD's.

[OKaeporaGaeboraO]

what series is the processor? Core, Duo, Pentium, Celeron?

[PorscheLieber]

Pentium!

[OKaeporaGaeboraO]

OK 650W is more than enough.

[PorscheLieber]

Thanks for the effort : )
