CHAINTECH NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU, Model "VNF4/Ultra" -RETAIL

Model# VNF4/Ultra

I need a quiet 400W+ power supply for this mobo. It looks like a 24 pin connector on the mobo for the power supply.

Any power supply recomendations?

I have one of these:

Adjustable speed but i check the temperatures reguarly and i never need to have it above the minimum (which isnt audible).

Antec True Power series are not only good power supplies but they are quiet, they are neither the best nor the quietest PSU's but they are rock solid. In fac Antec's True 380W should be all you need, especially now that it delivers 24 amps on the +12v line.

Ghost, Is it 24 pin?



I'm not even really picky i just need a 24pin one, and alot of the time it doesn't say on the retailers and the manufacturer's websites how many pins they are.

ouch max $120 bucks, i couldn't spend that much on s PSU

You could get one of these if you really want something quiet:

SeaSonic Super Silencer 400W ATX Power Supply, Model "Super Silencer 400W" -RETAIL

Pricey but quiet. There's also a 460 watt version but don't know how quiet that one is.

Just picked up one of these to replace a PS gone bad.

Fortron came highly recommended for its price to performance and i couldn't be happier with it, having an adjustable 120mm adjustable fan as well is butter.

how can you tell how many pins are on these PSUs? I need a power supply with a 24 pin conector for my motherboard.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but uusally it's standardized based on processor ...

[Salamandar]

Antec, chieftec and OCZ are awesome power supplies.

 

[Ghost]

It doesnt say if it's 24 pin but i know mine is..


I noticed newegg sell a 20-24pin adapter for $7

For some reason i was worried about using an adapter, i would just like a 24 pin PSU for my 24 pin mobo. I'll try that thermaltake ghost, my new pc is now complete.



Thanks everyone for all your help.

 

[pestul]

24pin PSU is not needed for it.. but it is kinda unsightly when you see extra holes that seemingly should be filled.. meh.. that sounded dirty.

 

[LAMBO]

I got that thermtake psu Ghost mentioned today and it turns out to not be a 24 pin psu. Oh well. So i can still just plug the 20 pin psu into the 24 pin mobo without an adapter?

I got this one, after I bought some cheap superflower 500w psu that failed after only 3 months of sporadic use . Very good psu, I love modular cables only bad thing is this one has a non-modular 24 pin cable but doesn't really matter for my current pc.
