EATX power supply question

[Robor]

I have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. I just mounted the MB in the case and started attaching cables. I come to the power and WTF, too many pins? My current Enermax PS has a 20-pin connector and the board is 24-pin.

Apparently I need to buy a new PS with a 24-pin connector (EATX)? I did some looking and when I look at the specs I don't see any that specify "24-pin" or "E-ATX". How do I know which power supplies have 20 and which have 24 pins?

EDIT: I just read that there are ATX to EATX adapters. Would this affect stability or overclockability? It seems to me that using an adapter wouldn't be the best route for either.

As long as your PSU has the juice to power the system the adpaters aren't an issue. The standard EPS 12v is the 24pin model like this Antec

So an adapter isn't an issue? Maybe I'll go that route. My current PS shouldn't be a problem as it's a pretty decent one - Enermax EG-465 (430W).

Unfortunately, I've called around and none of the local chain stores have a big 24pin PS in stock and none of them carry the adapter.

Thanks for the help guys!
