They are not used in all systems. Those are only for on P4 motherboards.

Don't worry about it. Nothing's wrong.

Think of them as a extra added bonus.


That you'll never use.

actually that smaller square plug does plug into some AMD-based motherboards. i guess some of them just need the extra juice.

It's not so much that they need extra juice, rather they have a separate regulated power supply just for the CPU.

Seems like a nice touch.

My Asus doesn't have it...
