Do I need a 4pin ATX power connected

Ratzuk · 9 Jan 2021 at 23:09

Hi, just got a new mobo gigabyte z490 vision g
I didn't even think to check the cabling may be different to previous board.

My superflower SF 1000 psu does not have a 4pin ATX power connector ( may have lost it as previous board didn't need it)
I have the 24pin and 8pin available so do I need the 4 pin as well.

Reluctant in pulling it all apart to find I need it to power up as it will be a few days to get another cable and I need the pc in the meantime.

Thanks for any help offered

Hi.

The 4 pin is for extreme overclocking so not really needed but if you have any instavillity issiues it may be there.

What psu is it corsair or Superflower?

Are you sure your not missing a cable ?

Missing cable or not the answer is no you don't really need it.

Because it's a modular PSU I must have removed the cable for aesthetics on previous build as that board only had 24 and 8 pin.
This one is 24 + 8+4
Can't find cable anywhere and there are several empty spaces on PSU :rolleyes:
