Hey. Ive recently brought components to make a computer. The motherboard i have only has a 4 pin pci-e connector, and my power supply only has 6 pin and 8 pin plug ins. Can i connect ethier a 6 pin to the 4 as they will match up but 2 will not be in. Or is there anything else i can do?
Thanks Adam

What PSU are you using as there will be a 8 pin plug which can split in 2.

What your looking At could be for the gpu, does the 8 pin have 2 extra connectors to one side, ie 6 and 2.

I have 4 6 pin connectors with 2 on the sides. And 1 8pin which does not split in to two nor does it have an extra 2. Thanks Adam

Are you absolutely sure it doesn't split in two? It can seem hidden.

May I ask what make and model of PSU you are using? Also, what mobo are you plugging it into?

Is it the Corsair 750 TX.

If yes have a look at the link below, they can be a pain to split in two.

Ah ha! Problem solved they were fused together and needed cutting apart with scissors

Thanks for your help mate without it my stupidity would have got the better of me :rolleyes:
