just a quick question about EATX PSU
hey all
last nigt i dropped 600 on an am2 asus board, am2 64bit 3800, 1gig dualchannel ddr800, and a 256meg 7600gs sli pcie card.... i DO NOT want to fry this thing
i have a standard 20pin atx powersupply... 500watt
my m2n sli asus board with nforce570 has the 24pin atx connector
i heard that you can plug the regular 20 in and be fine... but i would like to hear from someone here that i trust...
and also.. what would i be losing.. thats 4 pins... 2 12 and 2 grnd connections *i believe*.... what will not function without that.
il probably end up buying a 24pin atx psu... but right now im recoverying from the current damage to my wallet... so anything i can use to get buy right now would be fantastic!
thanks guys!
peace
