p4 cable? CPU? BeQueit! Dark Power

Hi All,

I have an old bequiet! psu sat around that im trying to build up into a gym pc. However im missing the p4 cable. Am I right in thinking this is the cpu connection?

I have another 4 pin cable that fits the connection on the mb from another psu, but it only fits in the pci slots on the psu.

It wont boot and fans just twitch when trying.

Could anyone point me to a replacement cable? Or should this other work?

Its the 850w.

I have a silverstone strider 850w psu, the cable I tried is 8 pin to a pair of 4 pin.

It's a 4 pin motherboard I'm using. GB 970a-ds3p I think.

The p8 connector does not split its just 8-8.

The annoying thing is I have seen the p4 cable around somewhere in the last year I'm sure!

Yeah think that's it though I'm not sure if there have been newer revisions, mine was from about 09.

I'll have a look at going 8-8.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks mate that seems to have done the trick. Fans all spinning on power on now.

Still no post but I think that's a different issue!
