Every year, the computing power of devices is growing at a rapid pace, while the power consumption is also increasing. And when the power supply with standard connectors on the motherboard is not enough, they resort to using additional conductors on a separate line of the power supply
Instructions
Step 1
The most resource-intensive devices are the central processor and discrete high-end graphics card. Also, when using overclocking, due to the increasing power consumption, additional power will never hurt and will ensure the stability of the computer. For connection are used: four, six and eight-pin connectors. Their designation is respectively 4 pin, 6 pin, 8 pin. If there is a shortage of appropriate connectors, adapters 2 * 4 pin molex> 6 pin / 8pin are used. To arrange additional power supply, support from the power supply module is required. When choosing a power supply, you should pay attention to the fact that even if there are appropriate contacts, the power may still not be enough to start up or stable operation of the system.
Step 2
For example, to connect additional power to the processor, connect the four / eight-pin connector to the corresponding connector on the motherboard. The connection diagram of the video card is similar to the above, using six and eight-pin connectors.
Step 3
The calculation of additional power is carried out taking into account the power of the power supply module separately, for example, the power consumption of the video card is 170 W, the PCI-E bus on the motherboard is capable of delivering 75 W, each six pin connectors can also give 75 W, which means that for the video card to work, you need to connect two six-pin connectors for additional power … Power is calculated with rounding up.
