Power supply upgrade with 4pin ATX12V connector

[John Harris]

Hi Y'all.

I'm hopefully going to receive a shiny new RTX 3080 in the coming months, so want to upgrade my power supply from a 650W to something more appropriate. I ordered a Corsair RM750x (I am running an OC'd i5, nothing too thirsty) but in the middle of installing - it seems my ASUS H310M-R R2.0 motherboard needs a 4-Pin ATX12V cable plugged into it - and the RM750x doesn't have one of these.

Question 1: Is there a way of getting a new cable for the RM750x to feed this requirement?

Question 2: If not, which power supplies out there will have the right connectors? Not wanting to break the bank though, I just bought a 3080 after all

Really appreciate anyone's guidance here so that I don't screw this up again.

The Corsair RM750x has a pair of 4+4 pin plugs making up the 2x 8 pin connectors for the cpu (EPS12v) so all you need to do is plug one half of the connector into the motherboard. Most PSU's do it this way to cater for boards that only require a 4 pin connector.

You are 100% right, and just beat me to telling everyone that I'm a noob. I just saw that you can pull the cable apart.

Many thanks for confirming that for me so quickly.
