I've got the ASUS P5Ad2-E Premium Wireless Edition motherboard.
The case I bought came with a 420W ATX 12V PSU. I thought that was fine. Unfourtunately, the PSU is equiped with a 20 pin MOBO connecter, not a 24 pin MOBO connecter like the P5AD2-E Premium needs
On page 2-33 (section 16. ATX power connectors) of the ASUS manual, it says:

When using a 20-pin ATX 12V PSU with a 20-pin power plug, make sure that it can provide at least 15 A on the +12 V lead, and a minimum power of 350 W. Use of an ATX 12 V PSU PSU with a 20-pin power plug is not recommended.

So, how do I know if my PSU supplies 15+ Amps on the +12 V lead? Voltages per 20-pin plug is not listed on the side of the PSU, and it's a "Orion" brand unit (which I can't seem to find any info about.)
It's a NZXT Nemesis Elite black aluminum case, by the way.
