I am thinking of buying the Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply for a new build but am a bit concerned over a couple of points 1. It does not seem to have the 6 pin socket needed for PCIe cards. Is there a simple workaround for this ie Adapting one of the other leads 2. The length of the leads seem a bit shorter than others. I am not expert on what they should be or even if this is a problem Should I be concerned Thanks Mike
Akasa PCI Express 6 Pin to 4 Pin Power.. Allows you too use PCI-Express graphics cards with a 6 pin connector with older Power Supplies that only have 4 pin molex connectors. As for length of cable...I don't think you should have a problem as most mobos have the plug at the top. That would work in my Lian PC 60 anyway. Might struggle in the larger PC 70.
The 6-pin - 4-pin connectors usually come with PCI-E gfx cards so you might not have to buy it separately.
My S12 600W PSU came with a 6-pin PCI-E power connector... no reason to think the 430W wouldn't if it supports PCI-E. SiriusB
Exactly what I was thinking, the 600w is great, will last many years too (well 2) I have it and silent!
