My old PSU Earthwatts ea-650 (purple label) died. It had a one piece 8 pin connector. The new ones have a 6+2 that does not work with my intel motherboard. Any suggestions?
I know what I’m saying is my pci is 8 pin the new one is 6+2 but it does not pug into the socket. The last two pins are shaped different. My CPU cord works fine.

It is an Antec 650 Gold. Do you know if there is a direct replacement for the old earthwatts?6+2 that sound like pcie power
what the new psu make and model?
Your model, the EA650G gold was made by FSP (Fortron). The green series, which had bronze rating, were made by Delta Electronics, which is what I have in my system. The EA650G Pro was made by Seasonic and is based on the Focus series. If you have the pro model, a Seasonic Focus would be the closest thing to a direct replacement. I don't know what the FSP equivalent would be. Any high quality modern power supply will work just fine.

Are you sure that you're not misinterpreting the PSU's EPS connector for a PCIe connector? Model for your Intel motherboard?
It is the PCI connector that does not match. My old one was one piece 8 pin (2 rows of 4)Your model, the EA650G gold was made by FSP (Fortron).

The 6+2 cable is for powering a video card, as the others mentioned. The motherboard will use a 4+4 connector for the CPU power.

Regardless, no PSU has a 6+2 pin that plugs into the CPU port on a motherboard. It's for PCIE cards, period.

what the model? is this a modular psu? check the other endAntec 650 Gold
That is because the 6+2 connector is for connecting to video cards (GPU). You should have a separate connector to attach to the motherboard. It should have a 4+4 connector (when placed side by side, it will match the former pinout you referred to as having "8 pin (2 rows of 4)".Let me start over to stop the confusion. My old PSU was an Antec Earthworks 650 (purple label), it was hard wired not modular. The PCI connector was 8 pin (2 rows of 4). The newer PSU’s have a 6+2 plug that does not fit my Intel motherboard PCI socket. Is there a PSU out there that uses the old one piece PCI plug instead of the new 6+2 ?
