Abit AB9 Quad GT and Enermax Liberty 620W Problem?

Hi,
Its been a while since ive upgraded my PC and ive started to put together this motherboard..
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-123-AB&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=
and this PSU...
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-024-EN&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=111

Ive connected the 20 pin + 4 pin power to the ATXPWR1 (to the right hand side of the RAM), but on reading the manual it says that i need to connect to the ATX12V1 (top left hand corner of the motherboard) or the system wont start because it supplies poer to the CPU, but i dont have a 8 pin plug to plug into it? Or am i missing something?

And do i also need to plug a 4 molex connection into the ATX4P1 (left of the battery)?

Any help will be top!

Thanks

John

You should have a 4 pin plug that will fit into the 8 hole ATX12V1 slot.

Ive just sussed out that i put the 2 x 12V connectors together and plug it in! (top left of motherboard).

So do ive plugged the 20 pin + 4 pin (no cpu connector) in the ATXPWR1 (right of RAM)

Is that right?

Sounds about right.

What about ATX4P1 (left of the battery)???? :confused:

The ATX4P1 socket is for giving the board a boost if running Crossfire.

So generally i dont need it then?!

Nope.
