will a 4 pin CPU power connector work in a 8 pin motherboard

[oabhijith]

I built a new PC yesterday and the motherboard (Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2) it is a FM2+ motherboard and it requires a 8 pin CPU power connector and the SMPS (power supply) has only 1 4 pin CPU power connector. Will my CPU boot up without any problems or should I get a new power supply. Please tell me fast.

Yes, it will work flawlessly; the 8-pin is used mainly when overclocking.

some of motherboards will work with 4 pin,, some of them not works like high end motherboards

By no means the F2A55M-DS2 can be considered a high-end motherboard.

My PC specs are
Gigabyte GA F255M-DS2 motherboard
AMD A4 4000 3.0 GHz dual core processor
Kingston DDR3 1333MHz RAM
LG DVD Drive
Seagate momentous 5400.3 2.5" HDD

That is my PC specs (I know my PC is a low end PC)

still diddnt mention the psu but even a 250w one would run such setup. no gpu a lower end apu so it that case it might post. anyway you can also use an 4pin to 8pin cpu adapter to avoid any conflicts.

thats not a psu to rely on but it should be able to mangage such specs!
