Will this power supply work fine with an Asus P5B and Core 2 Duo?

The motherboard has a 24pin power connecter, do I need any special adapter or do I put one of the 4 pins into my motherboard main power connecter to make 24? Along with the ATX 4 pin 12V?

Opinions on this power supply?

I'm thinking about ordering this today with the Lian Li PC-7B.

Lets see..Your going Conroe on an ASUS board inside a Lian Li case, then seeking the
cheapest possible PSU that might just carry the system. I would only consider a FSP part
numbered Fortron and never an AX but it's your build.

My opinion...The best-bang-for-the-buck 400W PSU ATM is the Enhance ENP-5140GH.

Froogles for $60. It's a damn good unit. Look for a full review in the next couple of days

true dat, the sparkle or fortron fsp400-60thn is a good buy for $55 shipped as well. It's not that the ax400 is bad, it's just not of the HIGHEST quality, and that's important for a psu. The unit galvanized mentioned, any seasonic, and many others would be a worthwhile investment. If you had a windowed case, I'd suggest the enermax liberty...
