Thanks for the update and you are not the only person that has done that. It is an issue that the PSU companies need to look at.

Glad you got it up and running with a nice mild O/C.

Painful lesson => the real 12V connector has a nasty looking retaining clip and the little convertible piece just has two little claspy things on the side to attach it to the larger connector. (The good news is that this mistake did not damage the MoBo after many aborted power-ups).

I hope this helps at least one other person avoid this moronic error!
Another way to check, the P4 connector only has yellow(12v) and black(ground) cables.....PSU's with other connector will have orange (3.3v) and other cables.....

Thanks for the update...!!
Finally you have your system up.....:)
