Power Supply Connector

[kmatthews24]

Hello everyone

So i was installing a new motherboard today and as i was about to plug the power back into the board i noticed on the 20 pin ATX connector from my power supply one of the metal sleeves is missing from inside the connector, should i be worried about this? It worked fine in my old pc but it doesnt look right to me. Its a 430 watt EVGA power supply, ill be calling customer support after the holidays but just wondering if anybody has seen this before.

Hi

Is this the 24 pin ATX connector (possibly 20 + 4)
Often one pin is missing as -5 volt not needed on modern motherboards

To double check tell us the missing pin number

This question has been asked a lot recently

Correction pin 20 -5 volt is often missing

Yes. It was pin 20. Thanks Mike.
