just recived my £700 worth of pc parts, and the damn power supply dont fit the motherboard!

someone told me to get this one:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-CS and was told everyone loves it and its great for what i am buying. now ive wasted £70 on this damn thing just coz some idiot in this forum decided to tell me to buy it. i gotta wait ages now till i get another. really ruined my day!! :mad:

ehh, What do you mean it doesnt fit to your mobo ? Whats your mobo like.
*edit* Works just fine for me

JoeCooper · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:14

the main connector (big long one) is too long, and the square shaped connectors are the opersite. ive tried another PSU, but it doesnt come with the other 4 pin connector.

the worse part it i accidently scratched the psu, so i cant send it back and get refund.

Language Timothy!

What's the mobo?

orderoftheflame · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:16

what motherboard was it... and i'd edit the language out..

You're probably using the wrong square connector...

First off chill out and cut out the swearing or you will be banned. You had better edit them out as well.

You obviously have not got much experience of building a pc from your comments. Try disconnecting the 4 pin add on from the 24 pin to make it a 20 pin. I just checked Corsairs website and it says it is a 20+4 pin main cable.

This might be the board going by his other thread, looks like a 20 pin from the picture.

argh! thankyou. sorry about the above, i see now, 4 pins over hang

Garyj881 · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:21

If i understand you right, you mean the main motherboard connector is too long?

Doesn't the last couple of blocks disconnect or can they just over hang?

Too late, you beat me to it

Id also take the "idiot" bit out or i doubt many people will help you again.

JoeCooper · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:22

yes, but just found that there is a MB component in the way of the overhanging 4

JoeCooper · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:23

and again thankyou! it disconnects... thanks so much!!!

Doesnt it clip of leaving only the 20 pin?

If it doesnt you can get 24 pin to 20 pin converters.

pc-modd · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:24

Snap them off then?

garethrobinson1 · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:34

agreed, the extra 4 pins normally detatch

It is not very nice coming here and mouthing off at everyone. We are all here to help. That PSU should work, you obviously do not have much experience building PC's. I have seen the corsair work on AMD motherboard's so you are doing something wrong. There is a 20 ping plug and a 4 pin plug they need to both go together they should clip together to fit the 24PIN socket on your motherboard.
