[SOLVED] Question about PSU with Motherboard.

[Fcc]

I will buy a i5 6600k, asus z170-e MB, 8gb ram ddr4 2400mhz with a super nice price, so my power supply just has a 4 pin connector for the cpu alimentation atx12volts, and in the motherboard there are 8 pins, i have no more money to buy a new psu, can i just connect the 4 pin connector only?

PD: i will not overclock my 6600k.

thanks.

It will probably work. But that is a sign of a poor quality , outdated power supply that shouldn't be running those components.

800watts, not certificated, but can i use it with this mb and cpu until i get the money to buy a new one?

It might work till you get a better PSU(best case) or it might fry everything minutes after you turn it on(worst case), that's the gamble with poor quality power supplies.

lool, haha, i got 1 year and like 5 months with this PSU with my actual specs fx 6300, gtx 960, 8gb ram, m5a78l-m plus mb and i never had problems, hopefully it will not fry until i get the new one.

I would recommend not even attempting it. You could just fry your cpu or best case it will not get enough power and be fairly useless. The risks outweigh the benefits here. Get a good certified psu from seasonic or evga or thermaltake.
