If i'm buying an amd athlon X2 6000+ and it takes 125 watts of power, is a 4 pin cpu power connector going to be suffecient??

if your motherboard is socket AM2 then providing you have this and a sufficient PSU(i.e 550w+) then it will work fine.

That's what a CPU power connector is for. What motherboard do you have?

yep... wait? 125watts for a 6000+ ??

[RANT]a G0 or B3 q6600 consumes less [/RANT]

yeah thats one of upsides to core 2 duo, i thought everyone knew that? amd x2's use 90 (nm) process where as core 2 duo are 65nm

ya i knew that.. just my rant moment... but i didn't know about the 125w tho... interesting..... cuz i thought most of them were in the 65w

IIRC the Q6600 uses about the same amount of power as a X2 5600+. And the newer X2's are 65nm.

Yea, Q6600 doesn't consume a lot of power as many people think. My new Q6600 runs much cooler than my old P4 3.2GHz (Prescott)
