Do you need the 4 pin plug for the mb? There is an adaptor in the power
supply box for the six pin power plug.(not the vid card plug, there should
be one more)

I have the A8N Sli Deluxe, and the 701AX psu from enermax, a very nice
combo if you ask me. The 24pin plug goes into the mobo socket, the 4pin
next to the CPU, the 6pin is for one PCIe card and there's a dual-molex
to 6pin for the second PCIe card. Add one molex to the mobo for extra
stability when running in SLI. There's plenty of connectors for ATA and
SATA drives on the cables.

So I don't see the problem. If you still think you have one, maybe you
want to be more specific?

If you have 6800GT's or Ultra's, you will need to connect the 6pin plug
onto the PCIe cards themselves. If you have any other nVidia card, you
won't need to connect a seperate powerplug onto the card, as it doesnt
need that much power.

So if you have the Enermax EG701AX-VE and an Asus A8N SLI Deluxe, then
you should connect the power cables as follows:

check this picture for details:

- plug the 24 pin power connector (top left in the picture) into the
mainboard socket.
- make sure you connect the additional 4pin CPU power connector (bottom
left in picture) into the socket next to the CPU, otherwise it will not run.
- the 6pin connector (top right in picture) goes into the power-socket
on power-hungry PCIe cards. You will find a socket like it on nVidia
6800GT or Ultra cards, but not on the 6800 vanilla or 6600 series. This
connector is not for the mainboard, but for PCIe cards.
- connect a molex into the EZplug socket next to the PCIe socket when
running an SLI setup.
- connect everything else (ATA/SATA/fans and the like)
and you should be fine.
