i just bought an aspire 520 watt PS
+12v1 16A +12v2 18A
this was to upgrade from my current +12v12A POS PS which came stock with my compaq sr1550nx
i also purchased 2 gig of corsair value ram, heatsinks, and ati x850 pro agp card
so, i need to get this new PS installed
the problem is, the main big power wire for the motherboard 10 pins long, 2 wide
but the main power wire for the new power supply is 12 pins long... wtf?
can i splice the needed wires to the old power supply clip?
