for Corsair brand power supply it might have been 2x 4pin snap together as a 8pin so you should be able to snap one of the 4pin out and plug it in, i thought corsair has tags on their lines... find one that says "CPU" . o, and you dont really have to do it with only your tidy whity on either 😛

I have nothing plugged into that lol

But I can't find the plug that goes into that either

I knew it lol
just look harder your psu has them for sure

 

[Kari]

correct me if im wrong but its usually on the same rail as the main mobo connector

even if the main mobo connector is 20+4 type then no, do not use that 4 pinn extra.

or did you mean the rails on the PSU, dont know about that, quess it varies

Wow I feel like an idiot..I'm getting excited I hope this works...And yes whoever said that it has plastic over it...It does...If you uncover it it turns into a 6 or 8 I will see in a second.

ya that line should have a tag for "CPU power" my Corsair supply has the same thing so i can only assume, gl. next time read the instruction book, it does work for some 😉

You guys I think I got the only PSU or board without that piece I mean I literally can't find it. The only things left are Sata plug-ins and PCI-E

second connector in that listing, 8 pinns, should split in two 4 pinns

 

[bmwm3oz]

Connected to the PSU right?

 

[Kari]

[bmwm3oz]

I am the biggest noob on the forums I will give you guys that but hey...at least I'm learning =P I just turned that sucker on and the red lights came on for a split second and my head started spinning and then BOOM they turned off and the monitor turned on! Thank you so much you have no idea....

Your power supply has an EPS12V connector - 8 pins
Your motherboard will accept either an 8 pin or a 4 pin CPU power connector, just take the rubber cover off the socket to expose the other 4 pin sockets, its a keyed connection, only fits one way.
The 8 pin connector is designed to also be converted to 2x4pin, for those motherboards that only have a 4 pin connector.
