8pin PSU to 4pin CPU power conector, what to do?

[kotoly4]

My power supply has 1 x EPS/ATX 12V 4+4pin connector, and my motherboard has 1 x ATX 4-pin 12V CPU power connector. Is it better to have a 8pin to 4 pin adapter http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812123316 , is it better to conect only 4 of the 8 pins of my PSU or i should change my motherboard?

The 8 pin EPS male auxiliary power connector is often fashioned as a 4+4 pin connector such that it may fit into a 4 pin ATX female auxiliary power receptacle. Connect only half of it, that's how it's designed.

will I lose anypower from it ? I read a forum telling that if i conect only half of it, i coulnd't have all the power i need for my 125watt CPU. I have a 600watt PSU.

If the motherboard has only a single 4 pin auxiliary power connector it does not need more power. That will provide enough for a 125 watt CPU, just don't throw a 9590 in there
