Hey everyone,
I just gone to hook up a ASUS P8Z77-V LE Plus Intel Z77 motherboard to an old Corsair VX550W PSU I brought yonks ago, only to find that the 8-pin ATX12V power socket does not match the ATX12V plug from my VX550W (the domes and squares do not match up).
I'm 100% sure I've tried the plug in all manner of directions and that I have the right plug in the first place, the plug still goes in without resistance and I've read in other threads that the shapes (dome or square) do not actually matter but these answers have not been with much conviction.
Can someone please confirm that the shapes of the pins on the PSU ATX12V plug do not need to match up with the mobo's ATX12v socket?
Cheers
