I've that some motherboards with 24-pivot connecter will work with just an onetime xx pin plugged in to information technology.

If it does work (plow on, etc) practise you call back its rubber to run with it like that ?

I haven't had problems using either just the 20-pin PSU in a 24-pin ATX connection OR using the adapter. I suppose if you're using SLI or something power hungry onboard y'all might want to reconsider, but I've never had a trouble.

it WILL work, BUT it would just be better to get a native 24pin PSU

Umm I'm talking almost using a 20pin PSU & 24 pin motherboard.

I was talking near plugging the twenty pivot strait in and firing it upwardly with out an adapter OR using 20 pin PSU with 24 pin adapter. Ownership a 24 pin PSU isn't even a consideration.

And then back to the subject anyone else plug the twenty pin connector direct in to the 24 pin motherboard and it worked fine? problems? etc?

One reason to utilize the adapter is you may go a better price on a unit of measurement with a native xx pin plug, since it may exist discontinued. I picked up an Enermax 651VE with a twenty-pin ATX plug for $70. Added the adpater for another $5. It works great with my Epox 9NPA Ultra. Other than DFI, I oasis't heard of any conflicts with mobos using an adapter.

You must of got your new albatron board today, i bought the 24pin adapter only in instance, if your PSU is 400W or better, it should piece of work fine, I believe the Albatron volition need information technology, Some new motherboards use the 24pin socket but just need the 20pins, i seen a guy on Newegg running the board without the 24pin adapter and he didn't mention problems. If information technology was me idea, I did pick up a adapter at a local reckoner shop for seven.95$ (can get them every bit low as 3.99$ +aircraft on the net) so i don't have to worry almost it, peculiarly with a power hungry GPU similar your 7800GT!

I still want to hear about your review of the board, i don't retrieve mine is going to be delivered today simply it doesn't matter since i don't take a PCI-E vid card yet.

Works fine. I have a xx pin Antec Trupower 550 that I utilise with a 24 pin Chaintech VNF4 Ultra mobo. I have no issues any.

I plug straight in. No adapter.

If it does work (turn on, etc) exercise you lot recollect its safe to run with it like that ?

don't overclock too loftier, or you'll have to learn the difficult fashion.

edit the gpu i mean

Nope no mobo yet : (see here)

Went by CompUSA today, they didn't take the adapter. I'thousand trying to think of somewhere that might have them. Oh well, my mobo volition be hither Monday & I don't experience like waiting for the adapter in the mail.

I've got my 7800GT all prepare to become, example is all rewired squeamish & cracking (I've revised it near 100 times since I have cipher meliorate to do), new cathode light (instead of old neon), modded some holes in the case for amend wiring & airflow. I think I'll make a case mod worklog when I'm done. I'll post benchmarks also.

I cant post on prior knoledge, but I do believe that the clips on the connectors do not match up, and so brand sure you do a little enquiry on the subject before trying information technology. Also why not buy the adaptor isn't information technology like iv dollars on newegg.

If you put the squeeze that holds the connector to the mobo on superlative, then the twenty pin atx connector will go in the slot, but you have to align it to the right side of the 24 pin mobo connector.

It does work wothput the 20-24 pin adapter. Just I don't reccomend running total time like that...

My Antec Truthful 550 (20 pin) works flawlessly plugged direct into my Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI.
I'k glad I didn't waste the coin or the effort trying an adaptor.

The 20-24 pin adapter has got to exist ane of the near pointless pieces of hardware always made. It does null. You do non demand a 24 pin plug to run a 24 pivot motherboard.

yeah im not running a 24pin atx psu either. Ive been running information technology on my organization for about a calendar month nigh no probs, on my other intel arrangement i have been running a 20pin on it for about a twelvemonth without a problem.

^^^ yah, you will desire an adapter. my 6600GT finally is stable at my balmy overclock, information technology didn't get fried either (killed 2). if y'all don't do overclocking on your GPU, you don't need an adapter. my other two ran fine at stock only when i pushed it a little farther, blam. FYI those other 4 pins supply ability to your graphics card(s). also, in anandtech forums there was a expert thread about why you don't need one suggest people read that.

Chris, did y'all get your Motherboard still? I got mine yesterday, simply the forum was broke, wondering if you had the chance to hook it all up even so?

They said its still on a feeder truck and hasn't even been brought in the building however!!

I'm growing more pissed each solar day!

edit: received it today (weds) about 10:30am, "only" a week late!

I plug straight in. No adapter.

I have the same board as well(VNF4), but my PSU is a Antec 430 true ability. Which pin you starting time with? How do y'all know which iv pins to get out out? Any pics or diagram?...thanks amilion.

It volition but fit one way.

BTW, I've been running mine fine. However, the board usually hangs on a soft reboot.

edit: So I ordered the 20-pivot to 24-pin mobo adapter to see if that fixes it.
