It's hard for me to believe this power supply is going to deliver you what you need for the motherboard. Please read the tyan homepage. A 550 watts ATX is more in the direction of what you need. 400+ watts for sure. See the specifications they published there. A cool power supply is for example what i put inside my P3 dual: enermax eg651P-VE also works for P4. > >Regards >Jonas
