I am trying to hook up OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU with ASUS M2N32-SLI-DLX motherboard.

The mobo has a 24-pin EATXPWR connector, to which I connected the 20+4-pins MAIN cable from the PSU. MObo also has a 4-pin ATX12V connector. The Mobo literature says - "do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12V power plug otherwise the system will not boot".

PSU has two more plugs named CPU1 and CPU2, both seem to have 4-pins. So there are total three 4-pin plugs on my PSU -
1) first is named 24 - this is with the 20-pin MAIN plug & i plugged it in EATXPWR connector;
2) second is named CPU1; and
3) third named CPU3.

What should I do? Please help!

you wont use all of the connections from the psu... from what you've described you've connected the only necessary ones from psu to mobo.. the 24 pin connector and the other one i think its more like an 4 pin.mobo pic

the 24 pin goes at the atx power connector and the 4 pin goes just above the pci e to the right of the copper pipes (its white)

others correct me if i'm wrong?
