COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -An ATX power supply provides a number of peripheral power connectors and (in modern systems) two connectors for the motherboard: an 8-pin (or 4+4-pin) auxiliary connector providing additional power to the CPU and a main 24-pin power supply connector, an extension of the original 20-pin version.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is a connector that supplies electricity to a computer system’s components. The 24-pin ATX-style connector supplies electricity to the motherboard and other parts of the computer system. As a component of their Advanced Technology Extended (ATX) motherboard specification, it was created by Intel in 1995.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ATX 24-pin power supply connector is the standard motherboard power connector in computers today. The connector itself is a Molex 39-01-2240 connector, often called a Molex Mini-fit Jr.

Detailed explanation-4: -A 24-pin power supply adds an extra line each of 3.3 volts, 5 volts, and 12 volts, as well as an additional ground. These extra lines are used to satisfy the needs of newer technologies and more power-hungry peripherals. They also replace older 12 volt auxiliary connectors found on some 20-pin motherboards.

Detailed explanation-5: -24 pin MOLEX 39-01-2240 or equivalent connector at the cable. ATX power connector on the motherboard consists of two row of 12 pins.
