| 607053 | 2007-11-02 08:02:00 | Thanks for your input people. A few more questions...Firstly what kind of connector is this? lib.store.yahoo.net I'm talking about the plug on the very left. It has 8 wires...My computer uses two of those, one for the CD/DVD drive and one for the IDE drive...Is it a 4 pin molex or whatever? Or is it an 8 pin? Secondly, what is a 'triple SATA power connectors'? According to that Silverstone PSU, it comes with two of these 'triple SATA power connectors'. Thirdly, my motherboard has a 20 pin power connector but a couple of centimetres away there is a 4 pin connector slot + plug. What is it for? And what connector is it called? img257.imageshack.us Thanks |

Triple sata is just that. It has 3 sata power connectors. So you can plug in 3 sata drives. That is for your CPU, you need to connect the 4pin wire off the PSU to that. Note: some of the new PSUs have an 8pin connector - look closely, its 2 4's joined together. If your board is the standard 4 pin - which is most likely, just separate the 8 into its 2 4's and tuck one away somewhere. |

It'll work for your system and worst case scenario you have a decent warranty. Take the bull by the horns mate, and if you can't get it to work, then you should be taking the system to a pro instead of playing around with it yourself. |

| 607056 | 2007-11-02 10:52:00 | That one will work fine. It's pretty crap in current ratings but it only needs to replace a 250W so it really doesn't matter. | george12 (7) | ||
