Hello Guys
Im new to building computres, this is actually my first build ever.
I have put together the following components however I have yet to turn the system on.
Motherboard: Asus H81M Plus
CPU: intel I7 4770
CPU cooler: (intel stock cooler) E97378-001
RAM: 4GB+4GB (8GB) DDR 3
Storage: 2 TB Toshiba DT01ACA200
PSU: 1100W DELL G821T (removed from working "Alienware Area51 ALX")
Heres my problem; The PSU has a 24 pin and 8 pin connector, whereas the Motherboard has a 24 pin and 4 pin CPU.
The 8 pin cable DOES NOT split.
Can I still connect the 8 pin connector to the 4 pin (leaving the 4 pin hanging)?
