Z97-G4A JPWR2 Pins

[Bluerino]

I recently bought the EVGA 550 G2 and I can't seem to fit the VGA pins into the JPWR2 Here is the JPWR2 Connecter

Here is the VGA pins 6+2

8

You don't plug the PCIe power connectors from the PSU into the motherboard. There is a separate 4+4 pin connector for that (aux power)

I never received it in my box, should I contact EVGA?

It should be the one labeled CPU with your PSU make/model. Do you have that one?

It is labeled on it, the cord(s) its self are missing. Thus I email EVGA?

Understood. You saw the one in the picture right?

That is a basic cable to connect to and power the motherboard. Both the large 24-pin and smaller 8 (or 4+4, or even 4-pin on older mobos/PSUs) are required to be connected.

As you have found, the pin configuration is different between the 6+2 PCIe (VGA) and 8 or 4+4 (CPU) connections. This is to prevent damage to devices as the power delivered by each is specific to its use and they are not compatible with each other.

Good luck!

Just going to ask a quick question, I emailed EVGA and since I bought it from Amazon they can't help me, is there anyway i can purchase the cords somewhere else? Would this work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200496&cm_re=cpu_cable-_-12-200-496-_-Product

No, don't use that cable. You need the cable specific for the PSU you are using. Not all manufacturers use the same pin configuration on the PSU side of the cable. The motherboard end is standard, but not on the end that physically attaches to the PSU (for modular PSUs).

I would return the entire PSU to Amazon if it is missing parts. Did you purchase from Amazon, proper, or from one of their many resellers?

Called them for once they walked me through everything they are sending me a replacement cable TIL: Calling them is better than emailing. Thanks for the help @COLGeek

Excellent news! Sounds like it is getting worked out. Please follow up when you receive the cable if you have any additional questions.
