I am pretty sure my 470W Enermax power supply has died on my 3.2 GHz Asus P4P800-E Deluxe computer. I am looking at either a Corsair 650TX or 520HX as a replacement, but notice that both of these supplies have 20+4 pin main and 8-pin ATX12V power plugs (no regular 12V 4-pin plug).
Would these power apply connections work with the Asus P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard, which has only a 20-pin main and 4-pin auxiliary? Do I just connect the 8-pin ATX12V plug into the 4-pin motherboard plug? I want to get a fully featured power supply, which I can use in a new computer (if my current supply turns out to be okay).
Another power supply possibility would be the PC Power & Cooling Silencer PPCS500, because it has a 20+4 pin main, and both a 4-pin & 8-pin ATX12V power plug. Would this be a better choice for this motherboard?
I don't want to spend $75-100 on a supply whose connections might not be compatible with this older motherboard.
Thanks, Mike
