    You won't actually need an adaptor - just plug it into the existing socket on the motherboard, leaving 4 pins empty - it should only fit in one end, and it should work fine.

    At least it being an Enermax (as opposed to an unknown, or even worse, a Q-tec), there's much, much less chance of it popping, and if it does, taking down your entire rig in the process.

    Not as loud as the explosion and fireball from your existing one

    good lord, 430W is enough to run his computer nearly twice over. Why do people continue to grossly overestimate power usage?

    Then worry about that when you attach a partical accelerator to your PC.
