agapetos

Hi guys,

I bought a p5vdc-x mobo just to do the regular stuff like skype and office stuff or whatever. I like this mobo because it has 8x agp and 16x PCIe and also it has both DDR and DDR2, which I think is cool.

Anyway, I only have a 20 pin PSU and I AM going to order a 24 pin, but before I do that, is it OK to just plug that 20 pin in the mobo? The last 4 pins are as far as I heard only for powering PCIe or something?

also I have no clue what PFC function is, can you help me explain it?

Thansk a lot guys/girls this forum rocks!

As long as the off-topic doesn't go too far off-topic.

Mike

You can plug the 20 into the 24 but if you have a powerful video card it isn't recommended

PFC is right near the top: http://www.computerforum.com/showpos...32&postcount=2
