Post by: Vann on October 13, 2017, 09:46:32 PM That 8-pin connector is what powers your CPU - IT IS REQUIRED NOT OPTIONAL. According to the manual, you can also use a 4-pin CPU power connector. Quote This motherboard provides an 8-pin ATX 12V power connector. To use a 4-pin ATX power supply, please plug it along Pin 1 and Pin 5.

Post by: QuintLeo on October 18, 2017, 08:31:47 PM The CPU connector - if your CPU is low power, then it should be safe enough (since the motherboard manual specifically MENTIONS it) to just use a 4-pin CPU connection instead of an 8-pin.
The molex connectors are intended to power the PCI-E bus connectors for use with non-powered risers. |
