Urgent help required!! PLEASE!!

I'm in need of a little bit of advice as I'm just building up my new AM2 rig and I'm a little confused as to what plug to use for the 12v line for the motherboard? Please can anyone help me? Picture below :

I have a OC Z 520W PowerStream PSU and I wasnt sure which connection to use... I thought it was the P4 connection, the one without the +P4 marked on it..

Into this:

Many thanks for the help in advance

Please help!!

No matter, the system is up and running now.

Will post some results later if anyone is interested

Did you plug it in or just leave it?

Think you can just plug it in one way round and leave 4 of the pins overhanging (assuming it doesn't clash).

I think you're right, on closer inspection that ridge in the middle is the clip for holding the 2 halves together.

Yes, the blue plug does split in half. I wouldn't of thought it mattered which plug you use as they should both have 2 x 12v and 2 x 0v (GND), they will just be on different rails
