I was wondering what the max amount of current that each of the connectors that an ATX power supply can deliver to each of them. For this I mean connectors such as molex, sata, 24pin, pci-e 6 & 8 pin, 4 & 8 pin eps/cpu and all of the other connectors that are on a computer power supply today. Thanks

actual maximum amount of electrical current that can run on those cables?

 

not the maximum amount of specific power supply's electrical current that could be given?

I mean the max amount of watts that each of those connectors can give out like 150 watts for a 8 pin pci-e connector.

u mean something like this?

 

read from wikipedia of course xD

 

 

3.2.4. Power Limit / Hazardous Energy Levels Under normal or overload conditions, no output shall continuously provide more than 240 VA under any conditions of load including output short circuit, per the requirement of UL 1950/​CSA 950/​EN 60950/​IEC 950.

I do not think that is it. 8 pin pci-e deliver much less than that and I would like a watt rating for each connector.

just talking about squeezing more wattage out of 6-8pins, hope someone can answer you better...

 

i tried...

I think you have your units mixed up.

Current is in amps. power is in watts.
