I think dropping the 3.3v and -12v connections is a valid choice, but they probably should have found a different connector to use so the incompatability was obvious.
- cesarb 2y ago> I think dropping the 3.3v and -12v connections is a valid choice, More than just a valid choice, in the long run even 5V is going to be dropped. Intel's ATX12VO standard has only 12V coming from the power supply, all other voltages are generated on the motherboard when necessary.
