I have an NEC socket 7 board that uses the P8 and P9 power connectors, but it also requires another 6pin connector that has 3 GND pins and 3 3.3v pins. I didn’t have the original supply but was able to make the extra 6pin connector using two of those 20pin ATX to P8 + P9 adapters. Might be useful to some people out there where the motherboard requires an “auxiliary” connector beyond having the P8 and P9 connectors
good run down. i also like the pico power supplies which ive used to run AT style connectors up to socket 7 for testing. I dont think id use my current one for long term use for the socket 7's but I really like it for 386 and older boards. If i ever need -5 V then id build one of the voltage blaster boards for the isa slot. Also learned never swap modular cables
Impeccable explanation about classic and modern PSUs !I work in a e-waste center in Brazil and this earlier PS are very common.Trash for others,gold mine for me😂.Got a new sub !
So glad to have you on board, my friend! My passion for these old things is odd at times, as I didn't grow up with them, but got a taste during my 20's and it never faded. Best thoughts to you in Brazil!
Thank you for the detailed explanation. As I am currently looking for a replacement PSU for my Pentium 2 desktop, your video has been very useful in helping me understand which type of PSU I should choose and which types I should avoid.

The evolution of PC power supplies is interestig
Nice Video btw
Thank you kindly! I had to pick a few, and these seemed right 😁
Also take note of how much wattage for the 3.3/5.0v combined. For modern units it ranges from 100-200W.
Nice show and thanks for the video!
Great point! For the retro systems, though, they rarely get that energy greedy as a modern CPU.
Very good differences!
Glad you think so! Each a little different!
Very nicely done and informative. Thanks for sharing
You are as always, very kind to my content, pal 🥰

Great point! Tha is (I think) why the smaller Antec has that additional connector. Was it Socket 5 or 7?

Huh! Well then!

Interesting thoughts on the really older systems. I get not swapping modular cables between PSUs myself. Why take a chance?

Glad I could help! Super nice of you to say so 🥰
Actually pretty cool Tagan, actually
I am so glad I saved that Tagan! Nice supply with -5V rail!
@@UncleMikeRetro that's a great PSU!
There were some early Slot A and Socket A thunderbird cores that a modern PSU won't even run, they use too much on the 5V rail
Right? The size of this PSU did surprise me a bit. I have to make sure that I do not put too much of a graphics load on it.
Those Compaq power supplies will fry any other mobo Compaq liked using proprietary psus
I am trying to be careful with them.
Only if the connector Pinot is proprietary.
