Any loss with a pin converter?

jack222 · May 8, 2005

I will be using a pin converter on my 20-pin Fortron. Will i lose any preformance or will my OC'ing be less? Is it worth it to sell it and get a true 24-pin psu?

i would say its worth it to sell it and get a bluestorm... I wouldn't run a 24-pin system with a 20-pin PSU...

vise versa, i wouldn't mind

Well i have the psu, i would lke to not sell it. But do i lose anything with the converter?

you lose a little. It's very small though, maybe 1-2%% or so. So as long as your PSU is up to the task of powering the system, it should do fine.

With a DFI I would suggest using a native 24 pin.

How come?

DFI users have had many problems with their memory with a converter. DFI says minimum 480W and 25A on the 12V rail also a native 24 pin controller.
