I am looking at the ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 and will be using a AMD FX-6100 Six Core CPU (FD6100WMGUSBX). Will a PSU with 4 pins be ok?

The PSU is a 450W PSU that comes with the Thermaltake V2 Plus VO54521N2U case, so it will probably be not that great...

This will be a server computer under heavy load with ~2 hard drives and a cheap HD5450 graphics card.


Thanks for the help,
Sam

Sorry, I looked at a page and saw a graph, it was at the wall. 95 watts is still too much to pull through a 4 pin plug. watts divided by volts = amps. I dont know how much cpu is coming off the board, but thats intel quad level power on half the socket. Too much!
