That was the size of the plug I ordered from EBAY with my new power supply and it worked perfectly.? Are you sure you need this or are you ordering your first one.? As I have mentioned I am not a normal user of the power for a normal user and the 2.5 amp if you have one should be fine.? Me I power everything from the board and with my pins in and pins out at times looks like noodle soup.

Im going to be attempting some heavy overclocking and using it as a micro console and media machine so itll see some decent loads so i want to make sure i dont have any power issues. Right now the highest i have is a 2.1amp which will have to work till i can order the 3amp plug.?
