I have a dual Athlon MP motherboard (a Tyan Thunder K7X Pro) and an EPS power supply. The motherboard has an EPS 12V 24-pin connector and an EPS 12V 8-pin connector. The power supply has an EPS 12V 24-pin, EPS 12V 8-pin, and an ATX 12V 4-pin. My problem is that the 8-pin cable from the power supply doesn't quite reach the connector on the motherboard, but the 4-pin does. I can plug the 4-pin cable into one side of the 8-pin connector and it can power up. My question is, what exactly is the 8-pin connector for? What are the benefits of using the EPS over the ATX? Also, anybody know a good place to get an extender cable for the 8-pin?
Thanks in advance, -- Topher Fischer GnuPG Fingerprint: 3597 1B8D C7A5 C5AF 2E19 EFF5 2FC3 BE99 D123 6674 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
