Hi guys, been considering for an upgrade an i have been eyeing for a ASRock B550 steel legend. A pal of mine has pointed out that it has a 8+4 CPU pin.
However, my EVGA 550W G3 only has a 8 pin CPU pin. Is there any extension that i could buy to turn it into a 8+4pin or is it even compatible? Could i possibly use an extra 4 pin from my PCIE to the motherboard, though im not confident about that at all.
I have seen in some of the forums threads that you do not necssarily require the extra +4pin as it's for extreme overclock. At the same time, i've read up about people not able to boot. It's really contradicting to me.
Anyways i've been wanting to pair it with either a Ryzen 5 3600 or a Ryzen 7 3700x.
