Valmyre Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 hi, have Corsair added a 12v 4 pin connector? it is not mentioned in the manual/box (they only mention the 8/4 pin 12v) but there appears to be what i think is a 12v 4 pin, if someone could clarify this i can install the 450 :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 16, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 16, 2008 The VX450 PSU should have an 8-pin 12v connector which splits into 2x 4-pin connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmyre Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 thanks for your reply the 8 pin connector seems sealed , i cannot see how you can split it, unlike the 24 pin. What is the 4 pin connector for? (which isnt mentioned in the manual or shown on the box) sorry i am a real newb at installing psu's, i also found this review http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=438&type=expert&pid=3 which seems to suggest that there are 8 and 4 pin connectors (seperate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 16, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 16, 2008 I apologize, I was mistaken! Our TX series have the 4/8 pin connectors. You will only be plugging in either the 8-pin or the 4-pin, which ever your motherboard supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmyre Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers RAM GUY:biggrin: Weird that it isn't in the manual though (paranoid) the manual and other reviews only mention the detachable 8 pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteKiller Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Cheers RAM GUY:biggrin: Weird that it isn't in the manual though (paranoid) the manual and other reviews only mention the detachable 8 pin. It appears that there was an early revision with only the split 8-pin released to certain reviewers. SPCR shows both 4-pin & 8-pin ATX12V connectors. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article751-page2.html If your mobo has the 8-pin then you should use it. It adds stability and could help with overclocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
