I've read the following from DFI's site and am wondering whether I can stick with my 20-pin psu. How many of you had problems with your's? Does the 24pin adapter truly cause problems? :
There have been issues where people running only 20-pin power connection have had some problems, but DFI strongly suggests that you use the 24-pin connection for superior stability (and does NOT recommend using a 20-pin PSU (even with an adapter) if you plan on overclocking at all). Along those same lines, you should plug in all of the power connections on the motherboard (such as that 4-pin molex, etc.) ... they specifically provide better power when overclocking or using SLI, but it does not hurt to have them in all the time as it helps with system stability.
