Looking to buy a i7 2600 within the week
Not planning not to overclock, not a K processor anyways
Wanna save money and NOT buy a new motherboard--- however----
My current MOBO only has a 4 pin connections for the CPU
I've been reading around and the extra 4 pins on MOBO's is for stability, and not does not diliver extra wattage but I am skeptical cause I've also read from a AMD user that his rig would post or boot and his CPU was at 95 watts-- as is the i7 2600
Any help is appreciated
