Here's what I'm putting together.
Abit AN8 Ultra MB with AMD64 3.7 CPU
Antec TruPower II 550w EPS PSU. (24 pin)

The MB has a 12v 4-pin square connector near the CPU in addition to the 24-pin connector. The PSU has no 4-pin plug.

Am I screwed or will this PSU work?

If this PSU will not work, any recommendations?

Never mind. A closer look and I figured out that the 8 pin plug split to give me the required 4 pin plug.

Thanks

Hehe... I was just about to tell you that.

That 4 pin connector exists thanks to Prescott. Since prescott has been out so long, any new PSU sold today has that connector.

AMD based mobos has only recently begun to use that connector.
