Friends comp I'm building on.. he's on a limited budget. I like to build a computer KNOWING I don't have to fuck around with old shit/new shit.

I'm guessing his power supply is too old?

Enermax 460W atx.. doesn't look bad.

those four ports/holes should be on another connector, 2 cables into that one port on mobo, try that

I know, but with an attitude like that you can go fuck yourself. It may take more than 5 minutes to get an answer, moron.

You don't need the adapter. It will work just fine with the 4 open ports.

Really? With no problems? I mean he's eventually going to need to update.. that amount of watts isn't going to be enough for a 512 ded. GPU.

But for now, it should work?

yeah works fine with 4 open ports

there should be another 4pin connector that goes elsewhere on the mobo, though

I know I should have googled.. I just couldn't think of the word "pin" for 20pin/24pin haha

Ok, upon further inspection of the power supply.. There's the 4 pin connector to the port near CPU, then there's a 20 pin ATX... and a spare 4 pin. Would it be safe to plug this into the extra 4 pins left over on the ATX?

The piece LOOK like they're are designed to be that way, but I don't want to fuck anything up.
