[arnold873]

i`m looking for a PSU for a
asus a8n sli deluxe
which says it uses a 24 pin and a 4 pin connector
now most psu say they are 20 pin and 4 pin
and the eps ones say they are 24 pin 6 pin and 2 4 pins
what kind of psu do i use
i think it is atx12v 2.0 ?

Dear Arnald873
Good day!

We offer suggestions as below:

1.You can buy a 20 to 24 transfer cable (could be called adaptor) to connect your PSU's to A8N SLI Deluxe M/B and support it with more 12V current, because compared to 20-pin header the 4 more pins are 12V x1 , +3.3V x 1, and ground x 2.

2. If one day you would like to upgrade the graphics card to performance PCI-E with GPU like nVidia 6800Ultra or ATi X800-XT, you'll have to buy another transfer cable that uses 2 4-pin molex adapting to a 6-pin connector to support "one" performance PCI Express x16 card. If you want to implement SLI with dual "performance graphics cards"then", you'll have to buy two adaptors.

Thanks and have a nice day.
