I'm referring to the one with the white, 4-pinned head in the shape of
a square (2 pins by 2 pins). Is there an industry standard name for
these connectors?

And while I'm asking does it look to you guys that this PSU has such a
connector:

The photos make it very hard to tell for sure one way or another.

I'd call it the cpu power plug, but I'm sure there's a more esoteric name
such as the 'quadro-pin processing energizer coupler'. Anyhow look at the
second picture from the left of the various shots of the PS supplied by
Newegg. You'll see the connector more clearly there. Virtually all PS's made
in the last 3 years have this connector standard for the cpu.

Yeah, the connector photo has got that connector well hidden behind the
others. It is there, above the main 24 pin connector, if you know its there.

I predict that 'quadro-pin processing energizer coupler' will show up as
a standard in 2007. Nice work!
