Lionel,

I think it was you saying you were looking to split the 24-pin power
connector to use on the ATX and CPU vcore power connections on your
motherboard.

Don't: they aren't the same thing.

vcore is a pair of 12V lines.

11 and 12 on the EATX connector are a 12V and a 3V connector.

The whole time you were talking about that something worried me about
it, but I couldn't remember why.

The extra 4 pins on EATX and the 4-pin vcore plug are different voltages
and amps.
