Hi All,

How do you power the second CPU 8-pin input with a standard power supply? I have one CPU 8-pin adapter, which i can plug into CPU 1. CPU 2 needs the same 8-pin. I have two PCI-E8 8-pin adapters, but the pins are not the same. I have a 4-pin adapter, and two PCI-E 6-pin adapters. Which do I connect to the second CPU?

I've had this system running for the last 5 years - so I know the power-supply and motherboard have worked together in the past. Had to disassemble it in order to move it - and am now reassembling (stupidly forgot to take pictures of how it was plugged in).

NVM - I just found the 4-pin to 8-pin CPU adapter I must have bought 4 years ago...that seems to answer the question of what I did.
