PSU for 8-pin CPU connector?
I recently bought motherboard Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H and now found there's an 8-pin cpupower connector instead of a 4-pin conector on it. Which brings up the issue of what PSU would be compatible / advisable for use with this motherboard. There's no compatibility list for that matter on the Foxconn site.
Other hardware installed:
- CPU: Intel Q6600 Core2 Quad
- RAM: 4x 2Gb Kingston
- HDD: 4x 80Gb Seagate SATA2
- VGA: Foxconn GF7200GS

Yes, can't see you are going to be short of anything with that spec.
Yes, that's got plenty of power, and has the 8-pin EPS connector your motherboard needs for the CPU.
Yes agreed - sorry - thought you had already got a PSU without the correct plug rather than buying a new PSU.
