That's the one yeah. It doesn't have any wires connected to the PSU that have the same modules as the eps-v12 why meee

Just post a picture.. makes life much easier

I can't but I can say for sure that there are no 8 pin connectors or 4+4 that will math the modules exactly when plugged in.

Can I ask you if there is maybe a connector I can use for this?

Edit I mean an adapter

You can buy them, just google it. But personally i wouldn't trust it.

It says on the site that if you do not choose to overclock then you can use the adapter, it uses a 4 pin and turns it into an 8 pin. There is also 4 pin and molex into an 8 pin.

EDIT:

Is it a new PSU? If so return it and get one with enough cables?

Here is a picture of the cables that come out of your PSU...the picture is of the Coolermaster Unit you say you have

The CPU plug is the one on the furthest left

Yep that's exactly right but that cpu plug at the left when joined together amount to a pcie connector (as above) but the female connector is an eps 12v

There is two 6+2 at the top, on that cable, use them both and the other of the motherboard

they put out a completly different amount of power and voltage to a different set of pins....the 4+4 on the left is not the same as an 8pin PCIE connector.

If the 4+4 doesnt fit try switching the 2 blocks of 4 and make sure the peg clip is facinf the correct way for the socket, ive done it before where ive tried to plug it in and got frustrated to then discover i had 1 half of the connector facing the wrong way

It's the modules I'm worried about for example in my scenario a little square module is being plugged into a square with 2 rounded corners

legendaryjordan · 24 Feb 2015 at 21:01

Those ones don't fit the little modules either. Plus they're for the gpu

Ok, no pictures necessary, just see below please.

1) I'm using the only wires on the PSU that has CPU wires (all the other ones are being used currently).

My motherboard slot is shaped like this:

[)[]
[][)

[)[]

My 2*4 pin is shaped like this:

[)[]
[][)
[)[)
[)[)

The question is, will my 2*4 (which makes up a pcIe I believe) be compatible with the motherboard slot posted above even though the modules are different?
