PSU & MOBO compatibility

[zackn06]

Hey everyone,
I've got a quick question, I currently have this PSU and I'm wondering if i upgrade to this new motherboard if i can still use my current PSU or if I'll need a new one

specifically I'm curious about the main 20->24 pin adapter that i think I'll have to buy, will this cut down on performance? (Current psu has 20pin + a 4 pin connector)
Also, the PSU has an additional 2x 4pin connectors for the CPU and the board has an 8pin. Is this compatible?

Thanks in advance!

Your links are broken.

Are the parts ENERMAX EG465P-VE PSU and GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ motherboard?

Upgrade not required. PSU and motherboard are fully compatible.

Also, the PSU has an additional 2x 4pin connectors for the CPU and the board has an 8pin. Is this compatible?

It's the same thing, so yes. 8pins either way.

Adapter not required. You have the necessary 24pins to hook up the PSU to the motherboard.

If you're curious about the broken link - it looks like it was the quote marks in the URL link that didnt work out right.

url="http://www.newegg
 http://&/#034;http://www.newegg

It was turning the quote marks into ASCII code.
Use just the link without quotes and it should work.

Sorry about the broken links, they worked for me at first.
Yes, the links i was giving are for an ENERMAX EG465P-VE PSU and GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+

Thank you, i thought the same but i just wanted someone elses opinion since i haven't built a pc in a few years.
