Post subject: ATX Power
Archived from groups: alt>comp>hardware>pc-homebuilt (more info?)

I've posted to the Asus group, but as there is little traffic there, I might
not get a response.

ASUS m2v has a power connector with 12 pairs of receptors, as I guess most
of the newer boards do. After 2 or three weeks, computer failed to start.
Got a replacement PSU from vendor, it worked for about same amount of time,
then (apparently) *it* failed. A backup power supply with 10 pairs in its
connector is working now.

I attached the 12 type PSU to a backup 'puter with a 10 pin power connector,
and the "failed" unit worked, no prob.

What are the two extra pairs supposed to supply; what am I missing?
If not much is lost, nevertheless I'm concerned that given this one flaw
it's only a matter of time until more defects in mobo manifest, or it has an
irrecoverable failure. Your opinions, experience & insights would be much
appreciated.
