Hi guys,

according to pc part picker, for my x570 TUF board I need a PSU with a "additional 4-pin ATX power connector". It seems these are the ATX 12V PSU's that I need?
Is this one? Seasonic Focus 650W 80+ Gold certified fully modular (https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product...d-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-focus-gx-650 )

according to their website , this is a "Intel ATX 12 V" and has 2x "CPU (8/4 pins)". So one for the 8 pin on the motherboard and 1 for the 4 pin?

Thanks

Any ATX12V PSU has a 4-pin power connector.

An EPS12V compliant PSU has an 8-pin connector, but 99% of the time these split in two to make usable 4-pin.

Whether you actually NEED a 4-pin in addition to the 8-pin on some boards depends completely on what CPU you are using.

99% of the time, the PC functions normally with just a single 8-pin.

But to answer your question, according to Seasonic's website, there are two of the 8-pin (4+4) connector cables...
