500W Antec Basiq Question

[ClariorHincHonos]

Ok fellas, here is the deal. I have the 500W Antec Basiq, which has a 6 pin PCI-E and 4 pin P4 connector. I need an 8 pin CPU connect, and could easily obtain a connector.

Here's the question-I won't need the PCI-E connector-ever. Can I make an 8 pin connector out of the PCI-E and P4 wiring?

Basically I'm looking to build an 8 pin connection, based on the EPS12V spec, using the wires I have available.

You can, but I wouldn't really recommend it. In any case, if you're running a single-CPU computer, you can just use the 4-pin and it should work. The 8-pin is not necessary.
