I just received my Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe, not realizing it had a newer 8-pin EATX 12v connector instead of the 4-pin square one that I had expected...I have a PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool® 510 Express / SLI Power Supply, which only has the 4-pin connector
I am just wondering if anyone knows that it's safe to use this PSU.
My system will basically be:
Intel e6700 C2D
2GB 667 DDR2 Ram
1xGeforce 7950GX2
2x10,000 Rpm WD Raptor SATA HDs
1x300GB 7200RPM IDE HD
1XDVD-RW Drive
I know this PSU is plenty powerful for this...but will the lack of an 8-pin EATX connector cause stability issues? The weird thing is...the Asus motherboard comes with 4 of the 8 pins capped with a removable plastic cover...leading me to believe it's fine to use a 4-pin...or they are expecting people to only be using 4 of the pins. Does that make any sense?
Thanks in advance for any help.
