Am I way behind times???

[stockjock]

OK...building my first 939 setup...why does my DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert have a 24 pin power connector and yet all my PSUs only come with a 20 Pin connector? How am I supposed to hook this guy up now?

very confused

I am not sure about this approach. Do at your own risk!

most newer power supplies use 24 pin as well as motherboards. Unless you have a good power supply I suggest buying a new one that comes with 24 pin. 24 is usually 20/4 with an extra 4 pins attached.

Thanks guys for the info...I didn't think the PSUs I had were that old...ooh well...off to buy a new one.

My 24-pin motherboard manual says that a 20-pin PS is fine if you have at least 15A on the 12V supply.

So I tried it and it worked just fine.

However, this was an Intel board... so YMMV. RTFM and see what they say about it.
