P4 Power Supply

[blinkmus]

I have to replace the psu in my computer.

The motherboard model is Gigabyte GA-8IG1000MK

this is the power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702010

This psu has a 20+4 pin connector. My motherboard requires a 4 pin connector, can i use the +4 pin connector for 4 pin on the motherboard?

No. Also, the PSU does come with a 4Pin CPU power connector in the form of a 4+4 connector. You can just remove the +4 and then you'll have a normal 4Pin CPU power connector.

that is what i was asking....can i use the +4 pin connector for the cpu 4 pin on the motherboard?

From the 20+4 connector? No. They are wired differently, and delivar different voltages.

Again, you cannot use the +4Pin connector of the 20+4Pin power Connector in the 4Pin CPU Power connector.

yes i read that.

the only reason i asked is because tiger direct website stated that it did not have a p4 mb connector.

does this picture seem to suggest otherwise?
