EPS12V power supply + Socket 939 board?

[Unabomber]

Would such a power supply work with my Asus A8R32-MVP Socket 939 board, since it also has the 4 pin 12V connector?

Specifically, this one:

Thanks in advance. I've heard conflicting reports about using EPS12V power supplies with ATX boards.

I don't see why that PSU wouldn't work. I have no firsthand experience, but it looks fine since it has ATX compatible pin-outs for power.

My power supply is an EPS12V but my motherboard has an ATX12V connector, what do I do?

The EPS12V connector is designed to be backwards compatible with the ATX12V connector. However, due to limited space on the motherboard, motherboard designers placed capacitors next the ATX12V power connector. These capacitors will obstruct the EPS12V connector and you will need to purchase an EPS12V to ATX12V conversion cable kit. The EPS12V connector is shaped to fit the ATX12V in one way only. If the EPS12V connector does not come in contact with any other motherboard components when connecting to the ATX12V, then it will work fine without any sort of conversion cables.

Thanks to y'all!

I just snagged that power supply for a song and a dance.

If this works, then I'll dance a jig.
