M2-ATX Question - 24 Pin Motherboard w/ 4 PIN CPU

tbird2340 · 01-30-2006, 11:10 AM

I have a BIOSTAR GEFORCE 6100-M7 Socket 754 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard.

It has a 24 Pin motherboard connector and also the 4 pin connector to power the CPU. The M2-ATX has the standard 20 pin connection and comes with no 4 pin connector. All P4 motherboard I thought had the 4 pin connector to power the CPU and the M2 says its compatible with P4 and AMD systems yet it doesn't come with this cable?

Anywho.. Could I buy the 20 to 24 pin adapter but what about the 4 pin adapter to power the CPU??

this doesnt help your 24 pin problem but the M2-ATX does have the 4 pin connector, I have one next to me right now. The M1-ATX doesnt.

It has the connector but it doesn't come with the cable?

This blows.. They should either include both a 20 to 24 pin adapter and the 4 pin adapter and charge a few extra dollars or just include them for free.. Now I have to order this freaking cable from a different supplier and wait 5-7 days before I can use this PSU.. Total crap..

I fully agree. its not compatible with most amd/p4 mobos if its missing that connector.

tbird2340 · 01-30-2006, 01:42 PM

Exactly.. They market it as "AMD / P4" compatible but you have to buy cables to make it compatible seperately?? Not to mention they don't have any in stock..

This is sweet!

some 24 pin motherboards will run with the 20 pin atx
just check with the makers first

I just had the same question abou the P4 connector. Thanks for asking it! The answer, however is quite dissapointing. As everyone pointed out, it should come with the cable, or say that it needs it in BOLD. The documentation seems lacking at best.

PCCables has it cheaper
linky
EDIT:
nvm..it's not a 4pin-4pin cable, but a molex -> P4 adapter

they also have 20-24pin ATX cables

Thanks but that's actually not it.. That will use up one of the two molex cables that the M2 does come with.. What we need is 4 pin to 4 pin..
