I just tried to install my new Thermaltake Pure Power 680 and I am having
some difficulty. I have an ASUS P4T533 motherboard with a 20pin connector.
The Thermaltake PS has a 24 pin connector that splits to make a 20 and a 4.
I split the connector and put the 20 pin on the main connector leaving the
remaining 4 disconnected. I then took one of the peripheral connectors and
plugged it into the 12V connector on the mobo. After connecting all the
rest of the cables I turned on the machine and got nothing but beeps. It
was continuous short beeping. I turned off the machine and bought a 24 to
20 pin adapter but I got the same results. Upon further inspection of the
main connector on the PS I discovered that one of the pins was missing,
however there is no wire to indicate it should be there. I reinstalled my
old PS and away it went like nothing was wrong. Could anyone provide some
insight into this? Thanks for your time.

The latest standard removes -5V, or at least doesn't require
its presence. The _theory_ is, no motherboard needs it.
Now, why does your board need -5V ?
No idea.

You do NOT need a 24-pin to 20-pin adapter for your power supply.
Are you sure that you plugged in the 4-pin square P4 power connector
located by the AGP slot and CPU socket and NOT the ASUS EZ-PLUG?

I plugged in the 4 pin 12V connector over between the CPU and the Video
card. I didn't use the EZ Plug as it was in the way of the clip for the
main connector. Could anyone tell me what it means when the it just beeps
in short never ending sequence? Any other ideas?

The beeping could be caused by a bad connection with the
4-pin P4 12V plug, memory, video card, etc. Try one
RAM module at a time, a different video card, etc.
Are you able to try the power supply with a different computer?
