There is no way afaik to know upfront if the psu is going to work. I have read reports that if you keep away from the really cheap ones available on the market right now you should be fine, but I have no way of confirming that. My advice is... try to do my aproach first. Don't modify your precious psu until you have it well tested (power on for a few hours, stand by, suspend and push your gpu to the limit) . That way you wouldn't end up with an expensive paperweight.

It is not enough to have your psu running ok and providing the right voltages without any load (shorting PowerOn and Ground). When connected to the mboard, psus behave differently. I know this for a fact.

Next time I feel like modding my rig, I will replace the psu fan for a fan of the same size but with 4 wires instead of 2.

Can anyone guess how it will be wired?

here's another pic

Why 4 wires are preferable instead of 2 wires of your psu bro ?
