[SOLVED] PSU doesn't have CPU power cable?

[Xeno112]

As the title reads I have a 750w bronze corsair PSU I think and it doesn't have a CPU cord. I know it works without it because I am typing this right now on the system but I am using it on my new build and my CPU is being upgraded from a fx8150 to a 7 2700x and was wondering if I needed a new PSU because of it, thanks.

well like what pics? of the psu itself? https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/TX-Series™-TX750-—-80-PLUS®-Bronze-Certified-750-Watt-High-Performance-Power-Supply/p/CP-9020042-NA this is the psu if you need it.

of your current mobo, when you say cpu cord, i'm thinking of the 4-8 pin cable that goes in your mobo with the 24 pin cable

Any chance you have the modular version of that PSU and are just missing the cord?

i mean the like 4 pin connecter at the top of the mb i have one on my build rn but it's not plugged in and works fine but i was wondering if i needed it for my new build cuz it's a more powerful cpu and i dont have that cable

i don't know alot about psus or pcs in general but i know it isnt modular

any psu has that cable
moreover if it is a non modular, it should be there
i'd check the psu again, maybe you overlooked it

normally you shouldn't be able to boot without it, i guess your cpu has a low power draw
you will definitely run into problems at one point, think pc brownouts

That PSU has 2 cables for the CPU one should be 8 pin the other 4+4 pin.

If it's as old as the 8150 processor you have I would replace it anyhow.

They made 2 versions of it one was the regular made by CWT if I remember right the other a V2 made by Seasonic.

i have a fx 8150 rn and it says it has a draw of 125w and the 7 2700x has a draw of 100~

when you say "i would replace it" does that mean i should/ need to or can i still use it fro a couple more months

I would replace it because of its age and dated design.

but if i dont it would still work with the new build right?

It should you would probably need to disable low power sleep states in BIOS.

what does that do and does it go under different names in different brands of bios?

Easy to do you can Google it.
Basically the newer hardware uses a low power sleep state that older power supplies are not designed to do.
