Question No 4 4 pin

[bdavis5583]

I have a gigabit 1300 watt psu. As my old one couldnt handle my new gpu. My motherboard has a 4 pin that needs connected. What cord could I use to power it?

It should have a CPU 4+4 connector. Connect the 4 pin one only.

Any standard power supply made within the last decade or three is going to have the necessary CPU ATX power cable. If yours does not, then you should not attempt to use it with your system.

Only link I could find.

It came with 6 pcie cords and a 2 sata cords

It should have also come with the CPU power connector as the power supply does have a place to connect it to. That would be your 4-pin CPU or 4+4pin CPU cable.

I checked all the cords and none of them say CPU. Could I just plug a 8pin into it? Or would that fry my motherboard?

Is there a cable that says EATX?

If you're referring to a PCI-E 6+2 pin cable, the answer would be no. You could fry your system, blow up the power supply, start a fire, burn down the entire city, initiate the Great Plague and end the human race as we know it.

Ok, I may be exaggerating on those last bits, but the damage to your PC could be real. If you cannot find that CPU (EATX) cable, you will need to replace the power supply.

Yeah...CAN'T EVEN FIND THAT "BRAND"!! WHERE ON EARTH did you get it? How old is it? Does it have a 20-pin, 20+4-pin or 24-pin connector for the Motherboard? Is it semi-modular or fully-modular? No more questions...please, just post some pictures!

Throw the PSU in the garbage (or rather, e-waste recycler). That's a fake 1300W, fake "Gold" efficiency PSU that was only sold via eBay to take advantage of cryptocurrency miners that don't know anything about PC components.

Buy a quality PSU from a trusted brand from a trusted vendor.

NVM! Found your HotLINK. I recognize that PSU now! It's a CHEAP CHINESE KNOCK-OFF ANTMINER/BITCOIN/MINING PSU! The giveaway? The "90 PLUS" logo...it's NOT EVEN A REAL THING!! DO NOT USE THIS PSU!! It's a POS! Barely equivalent to a LOW QUALITY pre-80-PLUS 1980s PSU!! If there was a TIER 5 for PSUs...this is it!! PISS-POOR build quality, ShEiTe Efficiency, Horrible Voltage Regulation and NO PROTECTIONS (OVP, OCP, OPP, OTP, SCP). Designed to be CHEAP and to run HOT & HARD until it goes FzzzzzzT - BooM - Pwahhhhh!! If it goes...IT WILL TAKE EVRYTHING WITH IT!! Invest some money on a GOOD QUALITY, 650W, 80-PLUS GOLD power supply (Used or otherwise) such as an eVGA G2/G3/G5, Seasonic FX or PRIME Gold (Hell, even a G-650 is a "SuperNOVA" compared to this! NB - and I LIKE THE G-SERIES!), Corsair RM, RMx or CX-series (Bronze), even! You CLEARLY INVE$TED some $ERIOU$ $$ into your system and the "new" GPU, and, I am assuming you would like to get some milage out of it? Then INVEST IN A GOOD QUALITY PSU (do not reuse a mining POS!!)
