I have had bad luck with power supplies, the
first a 350W unit must have been undersized
and it failed taking the HDD control board
with it.

The second was oversized but this failed
within 6 months, the room being filled with
smoke and an IDE DVD reader failed as well,
probably because of this.

Now I bought a "Toughpower" 750W "ATX 12V
2.2 & EPS" 12V unit with a 14cm fan with
"Imbedded Socket & Modularized Cable
Management".

The back of this unit has four banks of
sockets, vis: (L>R)

1/ "8pin + 12V power connector. (8-pin
socket).

2/ "6pin PCI-E connectors" sockets. (Two
sockets of 6pins each).

3/ "4pin peripheral & floppy power
connector". (two 6pin sockets.)

4/ "S-ATA connectors". (two six-pin
sockets.)

Additionally there is a large thick 24pin
cable leading from the unit which plugs into
the motherboard, and this I did.

I am not sure which cable plugs into the top
left hand side plug of the motherboard,
whether it's the one black/yellow cable that
runs with the 24pin one, or the "8pin+12V
power connector" socket-fed cable plugged
into the LHS of the power unit. Which one
should it be?

What do the "6pin PCI-E connector" sockets
feed? Do they have to be connected at all?

I have plugged the "4-pin Peripheral & Floppy
Power Connector" sockets to he DVD readers &
writers I have, and this seems to work OK.
Can I use the "S-ATA connectors" for this
too?

I am mainly confused as to where to plug in
the "6pin PCI express connector" which runs
alongside the 24pin plug cable.

Please help, Frank
