The names may be different but the connector itself is a small square
block with two +12VDC lines and two GNDs. AFAIK, "AUX" refers to a
different connector - a row of 3.3/5V leads for auxiliary I/O power.

Most Socket A mainboards come without ATX12V. A7V880 is no exception. So
I wouldn't dare to mix it with the hottest K7 CPU, four DIMMs of maximum
capacity, and then short that little "overvoltage" jumper. Bet it won't
last more than a year in this case.
