Buying PCI-Express MB, do they come with atx adapters?

[p0rks0da]

Thinking about moving to PCI-Express while there are some good deals on the ATI cards atm, thing is i dont really want to get a new PSU right now because the one i have is ok. Do OcUK sell the 20-24 pin ATX adapters? i cant see them anywhere on the site just the gfx card ones, and if not do most of the PCI-e MB's come with adapters in the box? MB i am looking at is this one http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=576&l1=3&l2=15&l3=143 and there is no mention of one being supplied

Thanks for any help.

No they don;t come with the adaptors mate sadly, wish they did would have saved me some time, my new sli mobo came a few weeks back and OcUk didn't have the adaptor so I eneded up getting it locally.

Nope, I juts got the A8n32 and it had no such adaptor. Luckily for me I'd picked a 20-24 pin convertor up on flea bay for a couple of quid.

I also bought a molex to 6 pin PCI-E power adaptor but didn't need it as the ATI card I got came with it's own.

If your old PSU is up to the job (mine is an Antec 430w) it is a definite money saver.

good luck

Thanks for the replies, looks like i will have to track down an adapter elswhere in that case, bit of a hassle but as you say much better than spending £100 or so for a new PSU that isnt really needed.

Cheers.
