wcrm Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi all, I'm new here, I recently bought a power supply. Thermaltake TR2 430 watt ATX power supply. I see there is multiple outputs at different voltages. All I need this power supply to do is power an old pc 5.25 floppy drive, I was using the 4 pin output. There is no voltage coming off this connector. Do you have plug in the 20 pin connector to a computer to make the other outputs work? Is there any way to make this work, or do I have to buy a different power supply? If I have to buy a different one which model can I use to power a 4 pin floppy drive only? Thanks for any help.

ThermalMike Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 wcrm, Welcome to the Tt Community! If you want to use an axillary PSU, you need to jumper the 24-pin to turn the PSU on to get output. Thermaltake has a Dual 24-pin adapter: http://www.amazon.com/THERMALTAKE-AC-005-CNONAN-P1-24pin-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00Q2SWKAW There are other methods to do this, just be safe!

CRM Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks for the reply, I new there had to be a way to do this, but I wasn't sure how. I'm going to order the adapter, it saves buying a new power supply. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 No worries! Also from what I see, just about every PSU on the market is this way. It is a standard for most to require connection of the 24-pin in order to function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
