I7, hd 4890, antec truepower moduler new psu question?

[Guest]

hello i have recently purchased a intel i7 core based system and a ex58-ud5 gigabyte motherboard and am really confused about eps and atx the motherboard says it needs # 1 x 24-pin ATX main power connector
# 1 x 8-pin ATX 12V power connector ,on the connectors page for this psu , http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/co [...] odID=07660, it says it has one 20=4 pin connector but then its says it has an eps 8 pin connector 12v im just wondering if it wil work with my motheboard basically. will the eps connector go into the atx socket and work. sorry about the long thread. please discuss

Could you tel us what Antec PS it is, that link just takes me to there home page.

The 20+4 pin connector is so that if you have an older motherboard that only needs a 20 pin connector you only use the 20, but if you have a newer motherboard like yourself then you'll use both the 20 pin and 4 pin, they connect to eachother to make a 24pin.

And the 8 pin is for the CPU power connector on the motherboard.
