MATX and ATX Power Cables

[poproks]

Hello, I was just wondering, does ATX and mATX use the same power cables from the psu? Or does mATX have a special power cable? It would be very grateful if someone answered. Thanks!

I would also like to know where I can get a book of tips on the Internet for building computers. Thanks again!

They have the same power connector.

I don't know of any books but a quick "how to build a computer" search on Google is probably enough to get you started. And, of course, you can always post here and someone will help you out.

Short answer,
Whatever the form factor of the Mobo,
atx,M atx, etc it will still require the 4/8 pin cpu power line and the 20+4pin line,
without those two plugged in correctly your pc will not boot
as for guides to building a pc, check out this

and if you hang out on here you can pick up a lot of help, but be prepared to filter out sarcasm sometimes
