Motherboard/PSU Question.

[kaerent]

Hey,

My PSU I'm using is a SilverStone Strider Essential Series 600w 80+, and the MOBO that I'm using is a GIGABYTE Z68X-UD3H-B3.

The motherboard needs a 8pin 2x4 12v wire, but my PSU doesn't have an 8pin, it has this;

Would it be okay to plug both these into the 8pin (http://imgur.com/sOIBv) slot?


THE 8PIN CONNECTOR SAYS ATX_12V_2X4

Yes it is OK. Many PSU's come with a 4+4 motherboard connector now. Others may have an 8 pin and a 4 pin.
