Hiper Type-R 580w + E6300

Because the Hiper doesnt have an EPS12v, will I be able to run a Conroe on it? Its for use on a E6300 and a P5B Deluxe.

Is this a psu you plan to buy or already have?
If you plan to buy it, don't. Many are problematic.
Not sure about the eps12v I'm afraid.

I already own it. Never had a problem with it so maybe I got a good one hehe.

They aren't all bad. Just a higher than average number.

Is this the 8 pin connector or the 4 pin?

It has a 4pin, but it doesnt have the 8pin. I know on Conroe mobos the 8pin connector comes with a cover over 4 of the pins which you remove if your PSU has an 8pin connector, so I am assuming a 4pin will work. I just want confirmation of this.

I was just reading about it and i think it implied the 4 pin is required but the 8 is optional, but I'm not completely sure.
Not a conroe owner unfortunately.

4 pin is fine, 8 pin is also fine. It doesn't matter which one you use.
