Hi,
I'm trying some different 20pin power supply on a 24pin motherboard (supporting dual core intel / ddr2) leaving the last 4 pin of the mobo connector obviously open. I read somewhere that beside some heavy power requirements it should still boot so I used a 1,65ghz low power dual core cpu but no way, the fan seems to move a bit and then it stops.
Do you think I still need a 24pin power supply or I can use these P4 20pin ones anyway? Or I need the converter cable?
Thank
