1. 24pin is compatible with 20pin sockets, as long as the motherboard’s power socket does not block the extra 4pin components, and 204 is simply prepared for one plug to match different sockets
2. There are 10 colors of power cords. Generally, orange is 3.3V, yellow is 12V, blue is -12V, red is 5V, purple is 5V standby, white is -5V, brown is 3.3V monitoring, and green is pwr-on, gray is pwr-good, black is ground
3, the color indicates voltage and function, pwr-on and good are function lines, which send power on and power on normal signals respectively
4. It depends on the system the hard disk is prepared to adapt to. The large 4-pin is used by PCs, and some machines use their own patented interface. For example, SCSI hard disks often have two sets of power supplies
5. The power supply capacity of 8pin is higher than that of 6pin. Then it depends on the actual power consumption of the graphics card to decide whether to use 6pin or 8pin for auxiliary power supply
6. Both 8pin and 6pin provide 12V current, but the 6pin one The power supply from one channel is 12V, and the 8-pin one has two sets of 12V power supply, which are the 12V V1 and 12V V2 mentioned in the power supply.
7. Transfer according to pin definition. As long as 12V is still connected to 12V and the ground wire is still connected to the ground wire, it will be fine. Anyway, they are all the same 12V output, but the final pin position is defined differently. In the same way, 6-pin can also be converted to 8-pin, but because the 12V of 6-pin comes from one winding and 8-pin comes from two windings, in fact, when encountering a large current, this kind of 6-pin conversion will increase the heat of the wire, which is a safety risk.
As for how it is distributed, the voltage in the wires of the same color is the same, and the current is distributed according to the total demand. The currents of wires of different colors are different. The wires of the same color, as long as they come from the same winding, The currents are equal. With dual 12V outputs, or even more sets of 12V power supplies, the 12V currents of different windings can be different.
