well, something i forgot to mention was, that when i got the power supply it has a 8 pin and a 4 pin power cable for CPU power. and my old Motherboard used the 4 pin. and my new one uses the 8 pin, and when i got my power supply the 8 pin one came with like 1.5 on the 8 pins melted a little bit. so i used a lighter and heated up the plastic around these 2 melted pin holes and used a knife and picked away at the plastic that was melted over the 2 copper pin slots. it fits in perfectly now, no problems.
