I built my computer about a month and a half ago now and everything is working great, but I got a Power Supply with the wrong CPU Power Cable. The CPU Power Cable from the PSU is a 4-Pin and my motherboard accepts an 8-Pin, the motherboard is an EVGA nVidia nforce 750i. I called EVGA and they said to just plug in the 4-Pin and you will be fine, but you shouldn't overclock. I recently heard that you can get an adapter that enables you to turn one/two of your cables into another 4-Pin CPU Cable, but is my power supply strong enough to do this? It is a Thermaltake 500w Power Supply and I have it hooked up to an EVGA nVidia Geforce 260 GTX, an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz CPU, and several fans. (Obvious other things like CD-Drive and HD) With all of those things attached is there enough power to plug in another 4-PIN CPU Power Cable into the motherboard and start overclocking or should I just leave it be?
