Sponsor: Linode Cloud Computing by Akamai - This video looks at the future of motherboards and PSUs -- assuming inertia is broken -- as the makers of PSUs shift cost to motherboards for 12V conversion to non-12V rails. The ATX12VO spec has been around for a while now, but we finally got some parts in to work with after having waited for a 12VO motherboard for a long time. That allowed us to look at converting an ATX12V PSU to ATX12VO via a Corsair adapter cable, the footprint and sizing of 12VO on a motherboard, how SATA gets split-out separately, and more.
