Will this Mobo and Power Supply work correctly?

[rjb0897]

Hello everyone I just recently installed my ASUS z170a mobo and my EVGA Supernova b2 850w. During the installation I noticed it required an 8pin connector and all I had was a 4pin so I found on toms that its alright for a 4pin, but I did notice some posts saying you cant overclock. Im not that smart on computer components just know the basics and stuff I dont know I google or ask. Can anyone give me an answer on whether I can OC my CPU. Its a intel i5 6600k. Thank you.

You wrote, "all I had was a 4pin".

Power Supply has:
EPS (CPU) 2x 8pin (4+4)

The 850W B2 HAS A 2 - 4+4 pins = 8 pin for the CPU , it's 100% compatible. You insert a 4+4.

It's fine to overclock.

Im pretty sure I tried using the other 4 pin, and it didnt look like it would fit. Ill try it again tonight when I get home. If it doesnt work will just a single 4 pin work fine for OC'ing or will I need the 8 pin.

That is what it looks like and that 4+pin you linked is what I have on my power supply. So it doesnt look like it will fit which is what I decided last night.

Don't pay attention to the shapes , they can fit only one way , clip over latch.

You have 2 - 4+4 CPU power connections , so you need to install a FULL 4+4 to OC.
