PSU Queries
Hi all
Just want to double check this as never had the problem before. I am installing a new psu into an older machine, the psu 12v CPU power is 8 pin, however the motherboard is 4 pin.
As far as I understand it looking end on the 8 pin is
ground 12v
ground 12v
ground 12v
ground 12v
and 4 pin is
ground 12v
ground 12v
So I cant see any problem with only plugging half of the 8 pins into the motherboard but just want to check first.
Thanks, greboth.
