| 349302 | 2005-04-27 06:21:00 | Hi, all. Do u really need a Power supply that "compatible with Intel P4 478pin, 775pin & AMD Athlon or later CPU" or "LGA775 ready" to use for Socket 775 motherboard like ASUS P5AD2-E. Can I just use old PSU with 500 W and the 20 to 24 pin adaptor. Thanks |

The adaptors were developed for that very reason - so that you don't have to chuck away your old 20pin psu - I use a 24pin adaptor setup myself. You do however, need the 4 pin Intel connector for best results. Although you can operate without the 4pin plug it is very risky to do so. |
