The motherboard you're considering doesn't include a CPU power connector, but using a PSU like the Thermaltake Smart Series 600W should still work if it matches your system's requirements.

The diagram suggests the CPU draws power from the 20/24-pin motherboard connector, though some pre-built models may deviate from the standard setup, potentially leading to issues. How many connections are present?

Is this an older Celeron or Nxxx Atom board? They don’t require the extra CPU power connector. A 600W would be excessive. A 250W would suffice for this setup. You should fit any regular ATX power supply into the case. Ensure it has a robust fan to handle heat dissipation.

It's an ASUS built with an Intel 9400F processor.

It's a friend's computer that I'm assisting with an upgrade, so I'm not sure how many pins there are.

I discovered this useful math method when I was young; it's called counting. It hasn't made much sense to me yet, but maybe you can figure it out.

Take your time with it, use a quiet PSU like that one. You can leave the last four pins of the ATX connector off if you don’t need them.
