After my 460 watt psu blew, I managed to get hold of a replacement. This was not from Dell as they said they don't make them any more.
When I tried to fit the replacement PSU however, I noticed that the one connector that fits onto the motherboard near the processor was in fact 8-pin and not 4-pin.
The PSU is the same part number as the original, but its 'revision 01' instead of 'revision 00'.
I am wondering if its possible to use an adapter to change from the 8-pin on the PSU to the 4-pin on the board?
I'd really appreciate any helpful comments?
