need a PSU ATX 4 Pin and ATX 8 Pin

[Zander M16]

recently bought a Crosshair V formula Z mobo, never realised my PSU would need both a 4Pin and 8 pin ATX, my current PSU doesnt and PC wont boot or even load display,

Need a PSU with at least 800w, at least Bronze efficiency, 1 x ATX 4pin AND 1 x ATX 8 Pin (or its real name), 4 x 6/8 pin Gpu connectors, Modular or Semi Modular

reply if you need any more info

CPU is AMD FX 8350

You are not required to use the 4 pin also unless you plan on overclocking, and probably to a much higher clock than normal, a FX 8000 or 9000 series CPU. You can use just the 8 pin if you do not plan to overclock a CPU to the extreme.

i do use a FX 8350 though, so would i not need this extra 4 pin?

Only if you plan to do overclocking. DO you plan to overclock the CPU a ton?

i dont plan on overclocking at all, but i dont understand, all my cables are in correctly but the computer just wont do anything when i switch it on plus there is no defualt built in Graphics so its not like i can take out my GPU and try it

its only just fresh out of box etc so how do i set it up if there isnt a problem with the PSU?

So you have a 8 pin EPS on the board along with the 24 pin?

The easiest testing is to pull everything off that is non essential to booting. SO you would leave the CPU, GPU and PSU plugged in. Everything else off then try it again.
