Wasn't starfishy helping you with the build?
He has that mobo so he can tell you for sure.

The Enermax will work with your mobo. The 24pin connector with the detachable 4-pin is to make the cable compatible with 20-pin power connections.

If the motherboard as a 20 pin connector, youd etach the 4 extar pins and thats it, you then connect the +12v in where it belongs..
If your mobo has 24pin connector than you DONT detach the 4 x-tra pin and thats it!

ok you have 1 24 pin connector and the +12V connector, you have to use both of them.

DOnt split the 24 - pin just plug the long ass connector in it, then plus the other four pin right over it, simple enough no?

that would be man please =)
And uh looking at the pciture of your power supply, lets put numbers on the pics.
3 on top, 5 at the bottom.
so the one on the top in the middle is how you should connect the big connector.

than the one at the bottom left should also be connected right over it...

now i understand.... (smack head)

and now what is the difference between FDC and FDD??? as that my old mobo manual (a soyo SY-6VBA 133) says that the floppy connector is FDC, my new mobo says its FDD (i assumed that its the floppy connector as that its close to them IDE ports...)

Lol never hear of bare wire...

4-Pin is tobe connected on the PSU 4 pin molex,
3 pin is to be connected on the motheboard. Looking at the layout you have 5 fan connector so I guess you could just plug it on the motherboard.

My Vantex stealth fans cam with a 3 pin connector and a 4 pin adaptor....
