Antec PSU

[Mazumo28]

So I bought an Antec TruePower 2.0 430W power supply from CompUSA, and found that it had a 24 pin main power connector. Unfortunately, the mobo i'm getting (Asrock 939dual-sata2) uses a 20 pin connector.

So, my question is... Can I just plug it in and use 20 out of 24 pins? Or do I need a 24 --> 20 adapter?

Thanks

you can detach the additional 4 pins

what he said. There is a little clip on the side with 4 extra pins

Thought we covered this in the manual. Not clear enough? If we can improve the manual we will.

It's not the manual that needs improvement -- it's the users that have to learn to read manuals. I know I don't bother until I run into a problem. And even then it's not until I've tried a half dozen other things first.

Manual wise, you could caption and put a big black arrow between the two pictures to convey that you can transform from 24 pin to 20+4 pins.
