DFI Ultra-D and enermax 20 pin PSU

[fonzi]

Have I to use a 20->24 pin adaptor or not?
3200+, dvd-r, dvd-rw, 2x160 sata,6600GT PCI express
PSU: Enermax 470 (20 pin)

I'm going to use my Enermax 430w unit 20 pin straight in without the adapter.
I'm going ot be using a 6600 GT, so 20A on the 12v rail should be ok. (hopefully)
I'm waiting for the Antec 500w Phantom and P-180 case to upgrade.

You can try it, if it doesn't work then get a true 24pin psu...

I had some minor problems at first w/ my system. see sig.

Apparantely, the BFG wanted 2 seperated connections, not 2 on the same cable.

Jose

Yeah; the general consensys is that if you are using more than a 6600, or overclocking you really need to use a 24 pin for the extra juice.
I'll be holding off on my OC adventures until I get my new case and PS.
