    Will this power Supply fit the mobo?

    Well, i read on another thread on this forum that the Antec PSU True Blue 480w Blue Led Fan is a 20pin connector for the motherboard. Will this fit my Sapphire PURE CrossFire Advantage skt 939 8 channel audio ?

    If not anyone know of an adapter on ebuyer?


    Needs new monitor / speakers / headphones / keyboard.
    Before that i need money :s

    Most newer boards require a native 24pin connector. I wouldn't buy a power supply with a 20pin connector and risk not giving it all the power it requires.

    You should be able to find a much better psu than that Antec one on Scan, especially as you will get free shipping in 1 post.

    I'd look at the Hiper Type-R supplies as they are good but not too pricey.

    Hiper type-r should be more than fine for your needs. It keeps my system stable happily with an opteron at 3ghz and x800gto2 highly overclocked too.

    I wouldn't just take my word though as its best to do some research too, best thing to do would be to google some reviews and group tests for it.
