Hi

I need to know what the difference between Non modular, Modular & semi-modular are?
I plan on getting the XFX core edition 650w http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-003-XF But you see I have a 4 pin 12v connector header and a 24 pin connector header on my motherboard, Does this mean that that PSU I linked you to doesn't have that extra 4 pin connector that I don't need, Does it just have that 8 pin connector?

Please reply ASAP

Thanks

Non-modular:

The PSU comes with ALL possible cables attached to it, ready to go.
This has the advantage of ensuring you're not going to need a cable.
The downside is that it's VERY messy and if you're into cable-management, it's
a nightmare storing away all the excess cables you don't need. Bad cable-management
can mean the difference between a good or bad airflow and consequently the
operating temperature of your system.



Semi-modular:

Only some cables come pre-attached. There's less clutter and it
can be pretty alright. However it's more expensive than non-modular.



Modular:

No cables at all. You only attach the ones you need. This is ideal for
tweakers and those with deeper pockets, as it's both more expensive, but
also...

^+1 all good info - your psu comes with a "- Fixed ATX12V / EPS12V: One 4+4-pin"
that is a connector that where a 4 pin is needed you only use 1/2 of the connector. On a mobo needed more current both pieces are plugged in together to for an 8 pin connector.
