I was having difficulty with booting my new system, so I replaced the power supply with a new Antec TruePower that is actually P4 compliant. I have an Asus P4S533, and I notice that its AUX power connector is 4-pin, just like a peripheral power connector.
The AUX power lead from the power supply is a 6-pin connector. I also have a feeling that plugging in a peripheral power lead to the AUX connection on the motherboard is not right.
So, I don't have the AUX power connected. The system works fine, I'm not really worried, but I am curious as to why the connectors don't match, or what the effect of having it plugged in is. Any experience?
Thank you.
