I was talking about the 4 pin CPU connector
The manufacturer will list the supported CPUs. Is the 7700 listed as supported? If so, it should reach all Intel specs.The motherboard I'm going for my upcoming pc has only a 4pin CPU Connector and I have a i7-7700. Will it go to its boost clock with only the 4 pin or do I have to find a motherboard with an 8 pin CPU Connector?
Yes it is supported but I just wanted to know if the CPU will go to its boost clock which is 4.2 GHz with only that 4 Pin EPS connectorThe manufacturer will list the supported CPUs. Is the 7700 listed as supported? If so, it should reach all Intel specs.
IMO, if 4.2 is the Intel spec boost clock, the motherboard manufacturer couldn't state that the CPU is "supported" if it couldn't. But I have no first hand experience with that motherboard.Yes it is supported but I just wanted to know if the CPU will go to its boost clock which is 4.2 GHz with only that 4 Pin EPS connector
A 4 pin eps connector on a motherboard is used to give added power to high end processors and to support high power draw pcie x16 devices.
I7-7700K, for example could draw more power even though it can not be overclocked on your motherboard.
You should have no problem assuming you populated the 4 pin socket.
Hey, the motherboard I was going to get that had the 4 pin eps connector was the Asus Prime B250M-PlusI think from the original post, the OP is getting a motherboard with only a single four-pin CPU connector. Like some of the really awful motherboards on prebuilts that Steve Burke over at Gamers Nexus has reviewed.
This would be a good time for OP to actually tell us what motherboard they are going to get rather than leave us playing psychic, trying to give advice about mystery hardware.
This is a conventional motherboard with a standard 24 pin main power connector as well as a 4 pin aux eps connector.Hey, the motherboard I was going to get that had the 4 pin eps connector was the Asus Prime B250M-Plus

It clearly shows a conventional 24 pin motherboard connector.
I see nothing unusual about the board.
