[SOLVED] Do I need to change my PSU?

[mamba238]

Hello Guy! I need some clarification and I was hoping that you can give me. I recently purchased the BeQuiet Straight Power 11 Platinum 750w ( https://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/1775 ). I want to know if this psu will work with the Asus Rog strix B550-E Gaming motherboard (https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-b550-e-gaming/p/N82E16813119310#). This motherboard has 1x8pin cpu, 1x4pin cpu and a 1x24 pin connectors. I noticed the PSU that I purchased lacks in connectors. Will it work or I need to change my psu? Thank you in advance.

No, it doesn't "lack in connections". It has everything you need. It is fully compatible. Besides which, the extra four pin EPS CPU power connector is only necessary for extreme overclocking OR possibly when using a top end Ryzen 9 CPU. But mostly only when extreme overclocking.

Thanks for your input. I am thinking of purchasing the Ryzen 9 3900x. So, I may need to change the PSU.

Or you could not waste money and just use the cable that has the 8-pin and a 4+4 pin(the other 4 pins won't be used) that comes with the PSU.

Yes, regardless of what CPU you choose, that power supply has the required connections to handle it. There are no motherboards that require more than 2x 4+4 EPS/CPU power connectors, and yours has an 8 pin and a 4+4 pin, so it is fine. If you want to buy another power supply, that's up to you, but you don't NEED to.

That is a good PSU Be Quiet makes good stuff. Stick with her until she blows up and what not. ✌💯🤷‍♂️🙏☮
