I have an Avid branded 7 slot Magma expansion chassis. Since the power supply
sounds much like a jet aircraft, I am going to replace it. I've identified
(I think) that it require an ATX 300 watt PS, and it needs three 4 pin molex
connectors and a 20 pin connecter to the motherboard. All of this is provided
by the quiet PS I am looking at, and the PS form factor is the same.

However, right next to the 20 pin mb connector is a small 3 pin connector
as well. What is this called?

Thanks for any help.

Gary,
I don't own a 7 slot Magma but I'd put a huskier supply in there
if you can. Do they come in ATX form?

I don't know the answer to your question. Sorry.
Good luck either way.

Hi Gary, I had to replace mine because it died, so I've been through this.

The power supply has to be an older one because it has to be able to have
no load on the 12 volt lead. PCPowerAndCooling.com at least used to have
refurbished units for sale that would be quiet and fit the specs.

Hope this helps.

Mike
