20 pin PSU on 24 pin MSI K8N SLI

[leetay2]

Hi

I have a MSI K8N SLI Platinum board, just about to build it but have bought a 20 pin 600W PSU in error!
Anybody know if this will work or will a 24 pin be required??

Heard mixed views

Please advise

Cheers

Yes ... 24pins are required. Sorry, see if they will take it back for a 'proper' PSU.

Oh ... and before anybody sugests an 'adapter' then be it on your own head ... It may or may not work, worst thing it CAN do is kill your MB.

Cheers for that!

No problem ... I would hate to see that lovely board recked.

Same one I'm after myself.

MSI Reminds You...
• Both power connectors, JPWR1 (24 Pin) & JPWR2 (4 Pin, for CPU Power ) must be attached to this model to ensure operation of the Mainboard.
• A Power Supply of 450 watts, or above, is highly recommended for system stability.
• ATX 12V power connection should be 18A or greater.
• For this model, you must use a Power Supply which has a -5V pin supply.
