We noticed as soon as we looked at the manual which was a while after the first few builds were done. LOL If you put the connector on correctly you won't have a problem.

 

You have to work hard to put the connector on backwards but it is possible so we posted it in the forum

 

Lol I just took a look at the floppy power of a PSU I have lying around and you're right. It's definetly a printing error and I think you're one of the first to notice it... :-P

jejeje

I believe that DFI isn´t another motherboard brand more...DFI IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULES...and for this I thought in interchange the cables but I don´t it ...and for this the connector floppy was unplugged 3 moths..initial build pictures resolved the problem.

 

 

thanks for the reply....and the enermax liberty 500W+lanparty ultra-D .it had problems with this board???

 

thanks...

I would not spend my money on anything less than a Fortron Epsilon 600 or OCZ GameXtream 600.

 

The OCZ PowerStream 520 is a good PSU but power demands are only going higher and soon the 520 won't be enough.

I read that this PSU is good for DFI nf4's but I see two with practicaly the same Product number (different colors) that claim to be SLI ready.

 

I must ask:

a) Are they both SLI ready?

B) What are the advantages of each?

Well, I was looking around for motherboards and stumbled across the DFI Infinity 975X/G and someone told me to post on here to get some suggestions about a motherboard. They said something about the motherboard have EPS which I didn't know what it was so I decided to post on here to get some suggestions for a power supply.

 

Now, I was looking through the list and found a ton of powersupplys over 500 watts and was just curious if EPS is only on PSUs that are over 500 watts because I really don't feel I need that big of a PSU and right now I'm looking to save money on anything I can since I'm investing in a whole new rig just for Conroe. If anyone can suggest a PSU under 500 Watts that has an EPS 8-pin connector for this motherboard I would really appreciate it, I need all the help I can get right now.
