PSU Question

[gaara]

You can use a 20 pin ATX connector on a DFI board dude, OPPAINTER uses one and has held some very high overclocks. Obviously it would be best to avoud it, but if you can't, it's not the end of the world with the proper precautions.

Sorry, but you are incorrect.

I know some very highly reputable people who use 20 pin power supplies in DFI nF4 boards, and they work fine. As I say, I recommend using a 24 pin PSU whenever possible, but if you can't, you can still get by on a 20 pin PSU.

Infact, this jumper mod was made specifically for relieving BH-5s users of the 5v rail load who are using 20 pin power supplies. I know that every one on dfi-street will say the opposite, but there are a lot of people over there who are quite full of themselves and believe that a fan qualifies as passive cooling.

I use a 20 pin PSU on my MSI K8n Neo4-F nForce4 mobo, and i managed to reach 2.5ghz on air (im using a winnie). then my temps got scary so i backed down to stock.
