Power Supply And Mobo Help Needed

[thepeanut123]

So I'm currently using my 550w psu (rosewill hive 550s) from my old prebuilt and trying to plug it in into my asrock b350 pro4 mobo and it needs a 12v 8 pin. My problem is my psu doesn't have one, I have pci e that are 8 pin which would fit or do I use the 2 4 pin connectors also I'm building in the silver stone rl06

You need to use the 2 4-pin connectors for the CPU power.

And, no, the PCIe cable with 8 pins are for GPUs only, not meant for CPU power.

Yes you use the 2x 4-pin for the 12v 8-pin connection near the CPU. (*Not the 8-pin PCIe)
