Plz help with sunbeam 580w powersuply

[hockees]

hi guy, i just got my sunbeam 580W powersuply from newegg, i saw one of the main connector (20+4) is empty (the sixth one from the left) what i ment is one of the holes is not connected with a cable, but the others 23 pins r connected, so is that normal ? is that the way it should be ? or its a manufacturer fault. by the way, there r only 23 cables comming out from the inside the powersupply and they all connected to the main power connector(20+4). plz i need help and thx in advance.

DROP THAT PSU ASAP
That PSU is cr@p. Get a Corsair, PC power & Cooling, Antec or OCZ.

Yes, your PSU it a timebomb.
Return it ASAP and get a QUALITY Corsair, PCP&C, Seasonic, Enermax or Antec Earthwatts PSU.
If you post exactly what it will be powering, we can help you locate a specific PSU.

thx guys for your reply but is that possible to get 23 cables connected instead of 24?

The missing cable is normal and part of the 20+4 pin layout no problem.

What the otehr guys are screaming about is the brand of your PSU - if it's going to be working anywhere near it's 580w capacity, you should change it for a 'brand' psu as that one will have problems at higher loads.

To re-iterate though - all PSUs will have the missing pin, it is normal

Doesn't Sunbeam make Bread?

what happened was they had some spare room in the factory, and didnt know what to do. then a light bulb went on and they decided to use the spare room to make power supplies.
