wevsspot Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 might need a 4 pin to 8 pin power adapter though, just looked at the pics for the motherboard and it has got an 8 pin 12v connector damn i've been out of pc building for a while lol, is this normal now to have a 8 pin 12v ? There are a lot of newer motherboards out there that have the 8-pin aux atx plug. Many of them come with a removable plastic or rubber cover that protects the optional "extra" four pins. If there isn't a cover you can check you m/b manual and see if a full 8-pin connection is mandatory or not. If the m/b manual clearly states that the 8-pin has to be connected, then an adapter will work fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wevsspot Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Congrats Steve. Very few things in life feel as good as having a son or daughter happy about something nice that you've done for them. Feels awesome doesn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
