Hi all, first post on here,
I am just wondering about my PSU, it comes from an older built and was powering socket 775 quad core , power supply Cooler Master 550 ..., I just assembled my p9x79 with intel I7 4930k cpu, I aslso got an ok older model radeon hd 4890 GPU that I pulled out of mine old asus p5q with the quad core cpu, well I assembled my new rig everything seem ok but my question is besides the 24 pin power connector to my motherboard there is also an 8 pin plug receiver on the motherboard above the cpu , the psu comes with extra 4 prong plug that I also had connected on my p5q board, I connected the new 8 pin plug with just the 4 prong cable connecting it to the right of the 8 prong receiver on the new motherboard, what is the 8 prong receiver there for ? do I need a new power supply or is the one I currently have ok ?
The new computer is working great and I do not have any issues what so ever...
any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
