oh the hassle, does this belong in a case section, or a mobo section.
anyway here goes.
The arctic cooling T2 case. comes with a nice quiet PSU. but I think it only has 20pins.
Quote from their site:
"For ATX there is no motherboard that requires an ATX 2.0 PSU or a 24 pin plug. If the PSU provides enough continuous power at the 12 Volt rail (as ours), all configurations will work fine. Our PSU is tested with a 3.8 GHz Pentium 4 and a NVIDIA 6800 Ultra VGA board.
Using the 20 pin mainboard plug at mainboards with 24 pin socket you have to install in addition a 5.25" power plug in case there is such a socket (depending to the mainboard manufacturer) to get the power for the VGA board. Don't use a 20 to 24 pin adapter!"
its the last line that concerns me. how am I meant to plug a 20pin PSU into a 24pin hole on a mobo?
any ideas?
