IC. The Enermax FMA II 460W does not have 24-pin for the mobo connector ar? Any FMA II 460W user, is it true?

As for the extra connector for CPU, you do not need to plug in as your mobo only need to plug in one. icon_rolleyes.gif

that's normal, that's what we call, voltage fluctuation smile.gif, anyway, it doesn't need always over 12v, anywhere between 11.75~13.75 is a safe range...

Err.. that range using what software? my st56f and even my old acbel both reporting 11.5 +- 0.05 in everest in both Vista and XP.

Using the easytunes, Mine is 12.2 ++v. I know they are all inaccurate but which one is the better one? (or are there any other software you would recommend to check your voltages?)

Yes, you need to plug in the 4-pin... it design to be 20+4 pin is so that mobo with only 20-pin can use...when use on 24-pin mobo, then all 24-pin should be plug in... icon_rolleyes.gif

Not blow up.. but might cause pc reboot i think.
If happen too frequent can cause h/w failure/dmg.

Just wondering, i am about to change my mobo into a DFI mobo and it comes with a 24pin + 8pin connector in the mobo.I am using the CM Real Power which only have 24pin + 4pin.Can i still use this PSU on the mobo (eg, plug the 4pin into the 8pin connector) or should i get a converter for the 4pin connector?

Anyway, as i have seen currently, i only know that Silverstone PSU comes with 24pin + 8pin connector.Is there any other brand that offers this 24pin +8pin connectors?Thanks...

actually i also find this 4-pin to 8-pin converter, but failed, even at LowYat Plaza doh.gif...anyway, i think you should give it a try, even you plugged in, its either won't boot or it'll boot smile.gif

guys...want to ask...

my system spec as follow:

Gigabyte DS3 Mobo, Xpert Vision 7600GS Sonic, Corsair XMS2 Ram and using Quad Core...

my question is...what will be the minimum requirement for my PSU? 400W? 500W? I'm not probably going to change anything else above but i should be doing some overclocking... so I don't know which PSU i should buy... i don't want to spend too much on the PSU if i am not using it fully...but i dun know how much i will use...

I have a question.

my mobo is 20 pins, but my PSU is 24 pins (non detachable).

Is it safe to use a 24 to 20 pins converter?

becoz I heard from somewhere that 20 pins mobo have 5 VDC + lead that needs to be powered and 24pins PSU dont have it. So a "straight through" 24 to 20 converter will not work.

Do they have special converter that can cater for the 5 VDC+ lead?

I had just asked some opinion on this.The mobo will work even if you plug d 4pin connector into the 8pin slot.My cousin had personally tried this before using the OCZ Modstream on the DFI Lanparty Venus that comes with 8pin.But i am not so sure will it damage the mobo or not...I still feel its better to use it with a 8pin originally come with PSU.
