March 18, 200917 yr I've just about finished my first build, and everything went well until i got to CPU power. My mobo has an 8-pin power connector, and I only have two 4 pins. My question is whether or not It'll be sufficient to have two 4 pins plugged in at the same time instead of one 8-pin. And if not, are there any quick fixes, like a converter for an 8-pin, so that I wouldn't have to buy a new power supply? "El que no arriesga no gana"
March 18, 200917 yr Does it look like the one on the left? If so, just plug it in to the 8 pin socket, making sure it's neat to the side, i.e. not in the middle. It should work, that's what mine does, and another pc I've built.
March 18, 200917 yr Author Oh ok, thanks alot for the help. Also, which CPU do you use? "El que no arriesga no gana"
March 18, 200917 yr By cpu I assume you meant motherboard? I've got a Foxconn one, it does the job. See the 8 pin socket just to the left of the cpu area, I just have my single 4 pin connector in the top 4, and my pc works fine. [hide=][/hide]
March 18, 200917 yr I understand it as the ATX12V connector is splitted? Just connect them together with the little clip and connect to the mobo. Otherwise do as pryo said, use a molex cable.

March 18, 200917 yr Author I understand it as the ATX12V connector is splitted? Just connect them together with the little clip and connect to the mobo. Otherwise do as pryo said, use a molex cable. Thanks for telling me that, I hadn't realized that they connected together. So, now I guess I have an 8 pin. But, when I try to boot up, nothing displays on the monitor. My motherboard has a little LED thing at the bottom that can display POST codes, and it keeps going from "00" to "E8" to "01" to "b2". Then it just repeats the cycle over and over again. Any idea what's up? "El que no arriesga no gana"
March 18, 200917 yr Yes, it's one cable, but most come 4+4 splitter for flexability (as 20+4). I have no idea what those codes mean, since i don't know your motherboard model. First, check in the manual for the mobo if there any explanations for the codes. Secondly, go to your manufacturers homepage, or search on the web. I mean it could be anything, bad ram/graphics card etc...

March 19, 200917 yr Author I'm happy to say that I got it working, guys. Thanks so much for your help. "El que no arriesga no gana"
