PSU Cables - Can't Seem to Work Mine

johngaz1 · 24 Aug 2012 at 15:23

Hi guys, just got a new PSU (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-059-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098)

And I am in the process of putting it into my computer. However I have all the cables in, except for the 4bit entry at the top left of my motherboard. It seems that no cable came with the PSU for this spot. Is it required to use the computer? (I presume it is as the computer will not boot)

I believe Your on about the CPU power slot.
Does it look like this ?

if So, If you have a 6 or 8 slot connector I believe they are okay to plug into it.

EDIT: get confirmation on that before you possibly short your system.

Yes, it is the 4pin 12V opening. I have no idea what to do, as no cable came with my PSU that would fit into it.

In the PSU's description on the OCUK page, it says that:

"1 x 4+4-pin ESP/12V CPU"

Cable should be in there?

I have that PSU. Yes, it's the 4+4pin cable. Just use one of the 4pin blocks.

If you didn't get one, that sucks... RMA time
