[SOLVED] Will a 4 pin connector work for an r5 3600

[JoaquinMartinez]

I'm building a new PC and trying to reuse some parts from my previous system. The PSU still works, but it only has a 4 pin CPU connector. I need 65w for the CPU, will the 4pin work?

You want to make sure that all the correct power cables are plugged into the system. What is the make and model of the PSU that you are trying to reuse?

it will work, for eg, some cheap motherboards for the 3600 has just the 4 pin cpu connector... so yeah it will work, but i wud advice u to get a good motherboard with good vrm... and also maybe a better PSU whichever u find budget friendly; the reason i tell u this, because with cheap mobos, heat will be a issue causing throttling...

That has a 4+4 pin for the CPU.

better motherboard comes with 8-pin CPU. Don't sacrifice with cheap motherboards, 4-pin CPU is for less VRM/low TDP.
