PSU 4x4 pin connector to motherboard

[flightoftherat]

Hello there, I'm currently building my fist gaming PC ever and it's been a pleasant experience so far.

I have to connect the 4x4 pin connector to my Strix Z-370G motherboard, the thing is my PSU has a couple of 4 pins connectors (split) and my motherboard has 8 ports. According to the manual, 4 are for normal use and the other 4 are there when I want to overclock. Which of both do I plug? I will use only 4. From right to left? Or doesn't it really matter?


I'm so noooob right now It makes me cringe 😀

Do you mean the ATX power connection on page 38? Plug them both in!
Can you specify?

Are you missing the 24 Pin (20+4 Pin) Main power connector for the motherboard ?

Hello guys, thank you for answering!

zoltan.boese: Yes, I mean, I've already connected the 24 pin main power connector to the motherboard, now I need to connect the other CPU 4 pin connector to the motherboard. But the PSU has the 8 pin connector split, so do I connect them all then?

superninja12: I have the EVGA SuperNOVA 750

Where is that other 4 pin connector situated on the motherboard?

I mean it's only 1 connector with 8 pins. My PSU cable has the 8 pins split, so the manual says that I should connect 4 for normal use and the other 4 when overclocking, that's what confuses me.

In the upper left, the 8 pin connector. So, do I just plug everything?
