Why does the 24 pin connector only have 23 wires? Just installed on my pc and it does nothing, the only difference from the old power supply is that one wire. null

I'm case this was still a concern, the empty slot is actually an intentional "phantom terminal" - the wire that used to be there was unnecessary and removed from the ATX design years ago. So if your original power supply was older, it may still have it, but most modern power supplies are missing that connection. Hope this helps!

Because you were a cheap skate and bought the cheapest PSU you could get your hands on.. Cheap aint qulaity and quality aint cheap.
