Hi, I'm a avid fellow PC enthusiast and looking foward to share information on these forums in the future. I got a doubt which I believe I should seek some advice since I'm not very knowedgeable in electricity with electronics.
I got a used Z490-P Prime Asus Motherboard (Link Provided Below) which Uses the standard 24 Pin ATX connector and the 8 Pin (Molex??? I need how to call this type of connector) Connector. However, this one have an extra 4 Pin ("Molex") conector which I read that extra connection is for overclocking which I will be using in the (Almost aproximate) future. I got a Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750W (for 47 Bucks in an eBay auction) which is in pristine condition. However I didn't know these overclocking boards needed an extra 4 Pin Connector and this PSU do not have. Regardless, i wish to use this PSU for powering the extra 4 Pin on the board. Is there any adapters that I could purchase such as old 4 Pin IDE conectors to 4 Pin Molex to power the motherboard? I attached a picture which the Orange color is what my PSU have for connection and the yellow color is for the extra connection needed.
Any help on this is deeply appreciated. This is my second build ever for a gaming PC. The first one was about 10 years ago when I was 18, with the Phenom x 4 Processor back when Blu-Ray on optical Ddrivers were new (heck I feel old already).
