I was installing Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H, I notice MB does not have a standard 12V connector for the MB!
It got some thing NEW ATX 12V 2X4! and what I have is a standard MB 12V connector.
My Power is fairly new, and it is OCZ 500W StealthXStream
So Do I need different Power supply ?:confused:
 
That motherboard most definitely does have a standard 24-pin ATX connector. That 8-pin header on the board is for the supplementary power connector, which will either be a 4-pin or 8-pin connector coming from your PSU. However, you must connect that as well as the 24-pin connector in order for the board to function.

The 24-pin socket is located toward the bottom-right of this picture: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/FileList/Image/motherboard_productimage_ga-ma790gp-ud4h_big.jpg

Well I know I have to plug ATX 24 connector. For CPU I have standard 12Volt connector.
I think I am missing following connector from the P/S. I have an other 400 Watts CORSAIR CMPSU have that connector. I guess my Xeon 3100 getting upgrade from 400 CX to OCZ 500W :eek::eek::rolleyes:

The standard 4-pin connector will fit in an 8-pin socket using one side and leaving the other four pins empty. That arrangement will work perfectly fine.
