PSU help

[Thermomonkey]

I've currently only got a 430 W PSU, and have come to the conclusion that it isn't enough. I'm looking to get this: http://www.enermax.com.tw/english/product_...lay1.asp?PrID=5

 

Which is the 620W model. Thing is, this motherboard has the 24pin connector on it, which this PSU has, but next to it it has an 8 pin power connector. Now I know it can run quite happily off a 4 pin connector, just plugged into the top 4 holes, but i'd rather give it all 8.

 

Now, given this is a top of the range PSU, with ATX 2.2, and it doesn't have an 8 pin connector, what PSU does?? And does it make much difference, if any?

 

Thankyou

After a little searching, the Tagan 'TG-580-u15' appears to have the 8 pin supply:

Anyone got this PSU? Any good?

At Enermax site you choose EPS12V as form factor and you'll get a PSU with a 24pin main connector and a 8pin 12V connector.

 

I don't have any experience of these boards, but as I understand it you should search for an ATX/EPS PSU to meat the requirements.

I 've got the Tagen and things run fine power wise. Although I don't currently run anything at a higher voltage than the standard settings in the BIOS I have done in the past without any problems.

The PSU actually has a 1x20 pin connector and 3x4 pin connectors so you will have to actually read the manual on this one first before you connect anything, I mean you don't want it to go 'bang' before you've even tried it out.

Right, cheers for info. I've ordered the PSU, should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know how I get on.
