NemesisChild Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm new here and I'm sure this has been answered elsewhere, so I apologize. I have the TX650W unit and it has been outstanding from day one. I just replaced my ASUS mobo with an ASRock that has an 8-pin CPU connector. The problem is that my Corsair has two, 4-pin plugs, but only on fits the 8-pin mobo connector. I'm told that all eight pins should be utilized on this motherboard for increased CPU stability. Would I be ok with just the one 4-pin plug connected, or do I really need the 8-pin plug? If so, is there an adapter I can buy or will I have to get another PSU? Thanks......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemesisChild Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 What a noob, I got it all 8-pins connected. When I started the build yesterday, the one 4-pin plug would just not fit. I searched the forums here a bit more extensively today and found my answer. The rounded pins do fit into the square holes on the 8-pin CPU MB connector. Sorry about the alarmed post, now I'm gonna try to help the other poster with the same problem. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
