Hi all
I bought a B550-f for a new build.
I currently have my drives, a GTX 1080 (I plan to upgrade to a 3070 eventually), and plan to buy a Zen 3 CPU (Let's see what is shown tomorrow).
Now, my current PSU is a CX650M.
On PC part picker, I get: Note: The Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair CXM 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.
If I get from Corsair an additional CPU plug that's a 4+4 (and its marked CPU), and I can plug that into my PSU, I can plug one of the 4 into the CPU and not damage it right?
If I don't plug anything into the 4, and I do some light overclocking, would it ruin the board?
Thanks!
(If this is more suited for the PSU subforum, I can repost it there).
I'm new to all this, and my current board doesn't have the additional 4 pin.
