Title: What to do when motherboard has a 4pin while PSU has 6/8 pin connector?
Post by: jarhed on February 26, 2014, 01:33:06 PM
Can a 6pin PSU connector work on a ATX 4pin MB without the need to dismantle connector?

I believe even if it did fit the grounds/voltage are in the wrong spots on a PCIe connector.  I used the adapter above for my 1 PSU that does not have a the P4 connector.
