Hi, I'm having some problems to find a good PSU for me. This is to replace the PSU in an older dual P3 workstation. The problem is that I need a 24 pins ATX plug + the 6 pins AUX connector (2x 3.3V, 1x 5V, 3x ground). All the new psus look like they don't have this....
I also need at least 30 amps on the 5V line. I prefer psus that don't have dual fans. A single 80 or 120 is my favorite. I don't want to pay 300$ for a PSU.

What would you do?
 
Wait.. 24-pin AND the AUX?

Typically, boards that use the AUX aren't ATX12V PSU's and only have 20-pins. I never saw a board, even a dual P3 board, with a 24-pin and the 6-pin AUX. :(
 
not really, this is not the good connector.
I need:
5v 3.3v 3.3v ground ground ground
on a 6 pin AT-style connector. Most PSUs used to have this.

If you look at your 1+ years old psus, you will most probably see it.
I need that plus 24 pins atx connector.
Anybody has this mobo?
 
no, no agp at all. only pci 32/33 and pci 64/66 and integrated video. It's an Intel STL2. Why do you ask?
 
This is going to be tricky - the board will need lots of 3.3v/5v power, and just about no 12v power. However, I can't think of a PSU that meets those specs that has a 24 pin connector and the AUX connector. My Fortron 530W would be perfect, as it does have an AUX connector, but no 24 pin ATX.

Were it me, I would email PC P&C or Zippy and ask them if they can customize or recommend something for you using one of their PS2 size 300W-400W models capable of powering good sized 5v/3.3v loads:

Zippy US offices contact info here: http://www.zippy.com/P_WORLDWIDE.asp?lv_rfnbr=2
 
But if he doesn't need all that +12V amperage, why would he even need the extra four pins on the ATX connection?
 
Near as I can figure out, the board wants those extra 3.3v and 5v wires on the 24 pin connector.

I wonder if the board would work with a 20 pin ATX connector as long as the AUX connector was used though - the FSP530-60GNA or other high 5v designs could work then maybe.
