My MSI motherboard finally gave up the ghost after giving me almost 3 years of service. 4 of the 6.3v caps bulged. I have a new board and ram on the way and will continue using my Phenom II 955 BE. The new board has already been shipped by the egg and this evening I was reading more reviews on the board and just realized that it has an 8 pin CPU power socket whereas my 500w PSU only has a single 4 pin plug. I know that some boards will work just fine with just 4 wires, and I know that 4 wires is ample to power my CPU, even overclocked. My question is, will the M5A97 cooperate with just 4 wires? I know a lot of you guys are gonna say to get another PSU, but this Antec has had no issues running my system...I don't run an SLI setup or multiple hdds.
