Good day,

I'm currently creating a build, and I need a power supply with the extra 4 pin ATX connector not just the standard 8 pin. Now some of you might be thinking, "You don't need that, that is just for extreme overclocking, and it will be unnecessary for the everyday user". Well, yeah that's true, I am familiar that the extra 4 pin isn't really necessary since that is just used for extreme overclocking. But what the hell, I can spare the money and I don't want any compatibility issues. I want my build to be "complete and safe" from whatever issues, may it be hardware, power etc. So I want all connections in the motherboard occupied with a cable. So what's a good 750 WATT FULLY MODULAR power supply?

Thanks.

Seasonic Focus have an excellent fully modular 750W gold certified unit. They are a quality and efficient unit with 10 years Warranty. Around $120 USD if you shop around and worth every penny.

I too use the 4pin dedicated connection for my Overclocks however there are times when extra power to the CPU is needed so I consider it good to have.

There are more, but these are the more common recommendations for what you're looking for. I'm fairly certain that all have at least two 4+4 connectors, but do double-check before making any purchase.
