ABIT AV8 3rd Eye M/B Power requirement
ABIT AV8 3rd EYE & Enermax Noisetaker 470w PSU
Just bought these for a new-build. Problem is, the pinout of the 20 pin ATX power connector shown in the AV8 manual shows -5 on pin 18 (with +5 on both 19 & 20) The Enermax has a 24 pin connector on the end of its cable but comes with a 24pin to 20 pin adaptor link and no connection to pin 18 of the 20w connector. In fact the PSU doesn't have a -5v rail at all. Is the -5v rail actually needed on the AV8? The box the PSU comes in says it supports AMD Athlon 64/64FX which is what goes in this ABIT motherboard. Also on the box it says 'ATX12V V2.0 Support LGA775 Prescott P4 (24P) & PCI Express AGP(6p)' Whist I appreciate the last bit isn't relevant all other connectors from the PSU will supply what the new PC will need. If this PSU is unsuitable which quality PSU would be? |
