Hi!

Finally I got my Asus A8N-SLI Premium board, AMD X2 4400+ cpu and XFX GF7800GTX XXX PCIe card.

According to my vendor my current PSU, an ANTEC True Power 480W is sufficient. However, after hours of installing mobo, cards, drives etc in a nice and neat manner, I tried to plug power in all devices.

BUT: my ATX PSU only has a 20-pin mobo power cable, instead of a 24-pin. And the PCIe graphics card has a 6-pin connector and my PSU doesn't.

Do I have to buy a new PSU??

Any ideas? pls let me know!

THANKS in advance, Michel

You should have a 20 pin + 4 pin connector which is seperate but can be attached together for the 24 pin requirement.

Thanks!

I guess there is also an adapter for the PCIe VGA card?

And do you think 480W (Antec True Power) is sufficient?

System comprises:

AMD X2 4400+
Asus A8N-SLI premium
2 x 1 GB Mushkin 2-3-2-6
2 x WD Raptor 36.7 GB
1 x Hitachi 250 GB SATA II
1 x DVD burner NEC 3540
1 x Pinnacle PC Stereo device
2 USB device of which one powered by separate power supply

Thanks!
