Hi i have a hiper R type 580W psu and it has a 20 + 4 pin connector and in my motherboard i have a 24 pin connector and also a seperate 4 pin connector 12V but which one do i use? Does one give better power than another?
Thanks
 
The 24 pin connector goes altogether. The other 4 pin plugs in next to the CPU for extra power. They are different plugs!
 
oh ok thanks. at the moment i have just the 24 pin plugged in but thinking about it i have a seperate thing that plugs into the psu and has a 4 pin connector on it.
thanks for your help
 
How come the PSU doesnt use all its power just through the 24 pin instead of having an extra 4 pin connection. This means some people without it wont be getting all the power out their PSU.
 
Ok forget what i said above but do i have to have the 4 pin connector connected for it to run SLi or crossfire?
 
oh right cheers. i wouldnt know as i havent bought my cpu yet. better connect that up before i forget. thanks again.
