That's kinda what I suspected, but I sometimes get swayed by hysterical
advice. Thanks for taking a peek


It's BS. However, it may be true that if you call tech support and tell
them you are using anything less than a 24pin 480W minimum PSU, they won't
support you (even though the manual states 400W minimum). Now if you read
the whole thread you will note that there are many people using 20pin
PSU's with adapters. As with many tech support departments these days,
they are idiots to begin with. And that was a real easy conclusion to come
to after reading the thread. As long as the 20pin PSU you have is capable
of the load required on each rail (and it is if it's not defective), it
will work. I don't care if it's 20 pin, 24 pin, $200, or $20. Anyone tells
you different is just a moron. You should not have any problem using your
current 550W PSU.
