R.O.GamerZ Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Hi guys, i have a question. My post to i7 920 Its 8-pin (cpu power) necessary for a i7-920 cpu? The situation : cpu : i7-920 mobo: asus p6t psu: thermaltake This psu has only 4 pin (cpu power) connector The motherboard has 8-pin Is it safe to have combination mentioned above and only 4-pin plugged to motherboard for powering cpu? Are there any limitations when i only have a 4-pin? How about OCing? What is the pwr consumption of i7-920? Can someone try runing on 4-pin instead of 8-pin? (im not responsible for any damaged hardware, personal injuries etc. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmb938 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Yes you can run a 4-pin in a 8-pin power slot. 4-pin wont provide as much ocing ability but theres no reason to go out and getting a new psu if its fine.

Waco Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Yes, but you'll probably limit overclocking without a proper 8-pin connection. What model PSU is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nVidia_Freak Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Thermaltake says that unit comes with a 4+4-pin 12v cable. Did you lose it? Edited January 27, 2010 by nVidia_Freak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) It comes with a 4+4 pin ATX12V/EPS12V cable so if the 4 pin ATX12V is in use the other 4 pins to make it a 8 pin EPS12V cable must be there?
