Question Compatibility question

[Petya1098]

I own a X470 pro gaming carbon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07BYY16V7/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_return_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1) motherboard and am wondering whether a Corsair txm 550w gold+ (https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/corsair-tx550m-550w-80-plus-gold-power-supply/CP-9020133-AU) is compatible with it. PC.partpicker says it not compatible but have found nothing suggesting that elsewhere

It's compatible but pcpartpicker does state the mobo has an additional 4pin EPS/ATX 12v plug equalling 12 total pins. The PSU has only 1x 8pin EPS/ATX plug.. Most times can get away with using only 8 and the additional plug for heavy overclocking. See the motherboard online manual on information regarding EPS/ATX requirements.
