The separate 4 pin ATX 12v

i have on my mbrd : Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77

but i cannot seem to find a connector on my power supply: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX550M High Performance 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Suppl

Do i need this ?

Hi I think there should be an 8 pin connector that will split to 4

Should be 4+4 cpu connector, if I am talking about right thing... Dont mix up gpu power with cpu.

you just use the 8x CPU power, and use half of it ?

also, cant get my hand in there becuase the CPU cooler is so big

Yes...

Remove the CPU cooler then re-attach it.
