Hi all, recently i bought an AMD FX 6300 and an Asus M5A78L -M LX3 Motherboard, and i realised that my PSU Does nto offer an 8 PIn EPS, I have done some googling around and im not too technical Savy when it comes to this type of issue, Would it be safe to take the 2 4 Pins and plug them in?

-Thanks, Andrew

Often the psu's come with separated 4 pins since some motherboards only have a 4 pin connector instead of 8 pin. So if the 2 4pins make a whole 8pin EPS combined, then yes you are safe to do so.
