Molex to 4 pin motherboard connector

[Robert0211]

My motherboard needs a 8 pin and a 4 pin connection, can I use a molex to 4 pin adaptor?

What motherboard do you have so I can clearly understand what you are asking.

I see the 24pin, the 8 pin and the 4 pin.
The 8 and 4 pin use standard EPS 12v connectors which are quite possibly included with your power supply. If your power supply can only use either the 8 or 4 pin than use the 8 pin and get a molex to EPS 12v adapter, or a better power supply.

Yes thats the one, so use the PSU eps12v and get a molex to ATX 12v 4 pin?

Yeah use the 8pin EPS 12v the the 8pin connector and get a molex or SATA adapter to 4pin EPS 12v

You really should really get the proper PSU when running a server board.

Im using it for a personal computer, and I cant find a 600W PSU that has both :/

Many PSU's including good name brand high quality ones do not have multiple EPS12v connectors, especially ones at lower wattage's and even higher wattages... looking at you RM750x

I realize that, but I have a budget of about $60 for a PSU, If i didnt care about the cost, I wouldve gotton the Redundent PSU intel recommended for this motherboard

That comment was meant for SR-71 not yourself. What PSU did you choose anyways?

I bought a Corsair CX600 because on NewEgg it said it had an EPS 12v and a 4x4 ATX, so I thought it would be sufficient...... It only had one. not both
