power supply not compatable????

[leekendrick]

I've recently purchased a corseair cx600 m and a LGA1155 INTEL B75 2*DDR3 mobo for a MITX build... but does not have a four pin plug to go to the mobo. I was told by the assisatnt at the shop id have no problems, psh. This is my first mini build. So if i need a new power supply could anyone suggest any? Thanks.

all motherboards that are meant for gaming use the 4 pin and 24 pin plugs so this may be a mismade psu

i just looked up the power supply on newegg is this what you have?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

according to newegg this power supply actually Does have the 4 pin cpu connector for the motherboard. how it actually is on this power supply it is a 4+4, meaning that it is a 8pin power connector but it's split into two 4 pin connectors. it is for compatibility for motherboards that use either a 4 pin or 8 pin cpu motherboard power connector, did you double check? you shouldn't have to purchase another power supply at all, double check and make sure.

what is the exact model number of your motherboard? i can look it up to confirm.

the 4+4 is for gpus that use a lot of power but you can use it with the 4 pin mobo slot if you need and they fit. otherwise i would go back to the shop and ask them if you could look at one of the other power supplies and see if your missing a cable

Hi

Don't confuse atx motherboard connector 4+4. (Or 4)
With PCI-e. 6+2. = 8. For graphics cards

If it is modular there will be 2 or 3 similar cables

That is my power supply in the link. It does have a 24 and a 8 pin but no singular 4 pin. Should i be okay to fit the correct 8 pin or 4x4 with no worries like dariens007 suggested?

Hi

Usually the 4 + 4 atx 12V plug looks like a 8 pin plug BUT can un clip into 2 x 4 pin plugs

Usually PCI-e 12V cables have a label saying PCI-e and there are 2 of these cables

Googling atx 12v 4+4
Will give you pictures of connectors
