i just bought a new psu from tiger direct and hooked it all up come to find out that my mother board has a p4-mb connection slot but the power supply doesnt have any 4 pin connectors how can i solve this problem do i need a different psu?
Check your connectors CAREFULLY. There is probably a 8-pin connector that breaks apart (it just slides apart) to make (2) 4-pin connectors. It would be unusual to see a power supply that has an 8-pin connector but no 4-pin connector. The usual configuration is a 4+4 connector that you can slide apart if you need to.
I watches some youtube videos before I changed my psu unit, you need a molex adapter connection
Recent and current ATX power supplies HAVE the 4 or 8-pin (4+4) 12V power connector to motherboard. The connector has yellow and black wires. The 8-pin connector usually breaks into two. Just use the half 4-pin connector.
