PSU query

[K.C. Leblanc]

I've got a new motherboard to install.

My old PSU only has the 4 pin or the 6 pin 12 volt connector. The motherboard's 12 volt connector is 8 pin.

Can I get away with using the existing connector? Or do I need an adapter (or a new PSU).

Spec is.

Motherboard, ASUS P8P67LE
CPU: i5-2400
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 380w
Graphics Card: MSi R5450

Hi there,

You can just plug in the 4 pin connector into the 8pin plug on the motherboard and it will work fine. It should only be able to plug in one way.
