I *think* I recall all the 12V ins and outs being shorted solidly together within the PW-200 ... you could alternatively just run the P4 connector straight from your back panel 8-pin connector I was wrong about this. Obviously, after a moment's thought. The PW200 doesn't regulate the 12V supply, bu...

That all sounds roughly right. It's been 3+ years since I did this, the details are kinda hazy for me. Solder the one to the 5v hole on the pw-200. Dunno about that. I don't remember any 5V wires apart from the HDD power connector which was already soldered in. solder the 12v across three pins(Can i...

Yes, the P4 is what i meant, ... your motherboard uses a P4 connector too do you use the P4 cable? Yep. That one is not so redundant. Don't omit it. If you have (access to) a good high-wattage soldering iron, you can snip a P4 connector off an old dead PSU, and solder to the GND & 12V output of you...

where's the extra 4pin required for new motherboards? So I ... used a generic 20pin-24pin ATX adapter cable to connect it On the ATX power-supply connector, pins 21..24 are redundant, to allow more current for newer mobos... but since you're using a PW-200, you must have chosen a mobo that wouldn't...

instead of soldering all the leads across the pins of the motherboard socket, can I solder each lead to each pin and then heatshrink individually? Yes.

By the way -- I finally remembered to order one of the Molex 39-01-2081 panel-mount connector housings. Turns out that the connector on the Dell brick is a custom variation, and is keyed differently than the standard 8-pin housing. So it didn't fit. I hope noone ordered that P/N on my advice. Sorry....

I'd suggest replacing the 12V input connector of the PW-200, with something to match whatever power-brick you use. The PW-200 has a cheapo little barrel connector (a type that is usually rated to carry 1 Amp). The leads for it are just 12 inches long (not really enough to route nicely to the back pa...

Re: Akasa Evo 120 fits nifty in my Antec NKS3300 - pix!
Now I do. I downloaded CPU-Z (freeware from http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php). It runs, and reports 'Revision' as 'B2' (old stepping) or 'L2' (new stepping). All mine, of course, say B2, since they're several months old.eitheta wrote: Unfortunately, I don't know any way to get at the sSpec from software.

Re: Akasa Evo 120 fits nifty in my Antec NKS3300 - pix!
I'd be surprised if you could make the P5B-VM mobo temp go any lower than that. If you're curious to know, go get your spare 120mm TriCool, switch it up to jet-engine-loud, and prop it up temporarily inside the case so it's blowing onto the NB. And see how much your mobo temp drops. I doubt it'll b...
