dziad27 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hello I just received the purchased corsair RM750x power supply and the motherboard aorus z390 pro but I have a small problem z390 board requires 24 pin +8 pin + 4pin power supply http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=36051&d=1563209172 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=36052&d=1563209188 corsair rm 750 x has a 24 pin + 8pin cable (4 + 4) http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=36053&stc=1&d=1563209511 my question is this if I buy an additional cpu8pin cable (4 + 4) I can connect it to the 6 + 2 PCIe output? http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=36054&stc=1&d=1563209907 Do I have to buy another power supply?

Waukeen Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 There really needs to be a sticky about this. OK, to explain, unless you are going to overclock the hell out of the CPU you only need to plug in the 8 pin. The addition 4 pin you are seeing if required for extreme overclocking because the CPU tends to require more than the 250w (pretty sure that's the right number) of power to remain stable at settings in the stratosphere. The system will work just fine without it, nor will you see any sort of improvement even if you were to plug it in. Just build like you have in the past and ignore the additional 4 pin.

dziad27 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 but I'm building this pc for oc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waukeen Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 My point still stands. But what CPU are you using? To put this into perspective, I am running a 9900K overclocked to 5.1G/all with the cache at 4.7G from 4.3G without any issues what so ever. I can go to 5.2 but I don't like the temps sitting so close to Tj at that speed under load. Anything higher than 5.2G/all and I would need to start thinking about hooking up that 4 pin as the CPU would start to become starved for power. But you would also need a rather beefy cooling solution for that as well. So unless you are going to join the ranks of Kingpin and the like, don't fret over it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dziad27 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 for this set will be inserted i9 9900k and water cooling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dziad27 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 everything is fine, but if I want to buy an ATX12V 8PIN cable (4 + 4) and insert it in place of 6 + 2 PCIe and connect it to motherboard (4pin) or is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waukeen Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 oh you can hook it up but won't give any improvements or anything unless you are going for higher clocks than I am currently running. Like I said you need a heavy cooling solution if you do plan that. Not encouraging you to just trying to point out it isnt needed even if you want 5.1/all.

Waukeen Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Oh and as for the cable if you really want it plugged in anyway is to either get one from cablemod or from Corsair to make sure you get the right one for your PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dziad27 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 I think about 4.5 to 5 oc with Corsair Hydro 100i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waukeen Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 If that's all you are going for don't waste your money on another cable. You won't be anywhere near the power max that the 8-pin can supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butchboy Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) There should be two 8 pin cables included with the PSU. If you look really closely, one of the 8-pin cables splits into 2 4-pin cables. It's very hard to see, but you can pull the two halves apart. But unless you do a heck-of-a-lot of overclocking, it is not necessary. Just plug in the 8-pin cable and leave the 4-pin slot alone. UPDATE.. I should've read the rest of your question. You should be able to add another cable to the PSU. But unless you're overclocking with liquid nitrogen, I'd just use the cables included.
