Can I use only the ATX 4-pin and placed it over half of the 2x4 pin place?
The 2x4 12v power connector is supposed to power the processor
My motherboard is H81-s2pt
My processor I3-4160

Here is what the motherboard's manual says about the 2x4 connector:

If yes, I should connect it to the right or left half?
 
Solution
It will work; I've done that several times and it can't cause an issue with a low power CPU like the i3-4160.
