stupid psu question

+12Vio @ 16A
+12Vdig @ 18A

is marked on my power supply (pcp&c turbocool 475w)

where is the 16A and where is teh 18A? (atx connector, drive connectors, aux connector, p4 connector...?)

if one of these are completely isolated to one connector that im not using.. it would be nice to power lighting and fans off it.

or perhaps i could just tap both into each other and get a much larger 12v line

Vdig is the cpu power, it will be the P4 connector and mobo connector.

Vio is the hdd power connectors

what about the Aux connector? (looks like an AT mobo connector)

Brad · 04-06-2002, 03:28 PM

the aux doesn't have a 12v line on it, it has 3.3v, 5v, ground

isn't the aux for agp pro?

it can be, but a lot of P4 boards use it too, just for more power to the motherboard really

I have some odd pentium pro board that won't even turn on w/o that connector hooked up.
