Hi, I have a question to ask the knowledgeable people here. Recently, I've set about finally putting together a Llano system to play with... after having had a cheap Gigabyte GA-A55-DS2 motherboard kicking around for a few months, to have a bit of an experiment with an APU based system. Not too long ago I acquired a new 3670k for about $55 and for the price I basically decided what the hell and made up my mind to finally complete this system 
.
Now, my question pertains to the 4 pin cpu power plug, will it be able to keep up with the quad core with maybe a 3.2GHz overclock.. I don't know if I'll bother overclocking the gpu side due to thermal and wattage (4 pin) headroom. Being an experiment system I don't want to spend too much on it I'm reusing some other parts I have floating around.
I'm asking this because in recent years my motherboards have had 8 pin inputs, so it hasn't really been a concern. Your help would be greatly appreciated thank you.
