| resident headbanger  |  4-pin to 8-pin CPU power? Assembling my new HTPC yesterday, and I am using a 590 board and a hiper 580w modular PSU. The problem I ran into was the new motherboard requires a 8 pin 12v connection to it, but the hiper PSU does not come with one. The manual for the foxconn says you can use a 4 pin but recommends an 8 pin. My question is will it hurt anything by just using the 4 pin lead? -1  I would rather read a NewEgg review than a [H] review  |

| I'm Evil  | Re: Question No it won't. 8 pin would be optimal, and maybe a little more important if you were overclocking, but for what you have in mind, a 4 pin connector will work fine INTEL QX9650 ASUS P5E3 Premium 4GB DDR3-1600 Sapphire HD 3870X2 Danger Den Tower-26 (Custom W/C) 5 x Seagate 250GB HDD in RAID5 BFG ES 800W PSU |

| I'm Evil | Re: 4-pin to 8-pin CPU power? you don't HAVE to use an adapter.....a 4 pin PSU will work fine in almost any motherboard with an 8 pin plugin. I've never had a problem using a quality PSU with 4 pins in an 8 pin motherboard INTEL QX9650 ASUS P5E3 Premium 4GB DDR3-1600 Sapphire HD 3870X2 Danger Den Tower-26 (Custom W/C) 5 x Seagate 250GB HDD in RAID5 BFG ES 800W PSU |
