I am replacing my 300w power supply with my new antec 550, but im a complete noob with doing this stuff.
I have the old 300w out of the computer, with the 550w in and so far i have connected four pin connecters to two DVD drives. The connecters that went into the DVD drives on my OLD power supply had "p4" and "p5" on them, but now the antec's connectors have no markings. Some say "36" or "38" and higher in tiny print.
I connected my main power 24-pin connecter. Now All i need to plug in is the Hard Drive connecter.
There is a cord coming from the PS with about three 4-pin connecters all seperated. Do I just use the connecter out of the three closest to the Power supply?
This seems really simple but I just want to make sure i'm doing this right.
Im thinking a 4-pin is a 4-pin, and it doesnt matter, but I could be wrong.
Edit: I Can supply pics if needed.
