Corsair CX500 compatibility w/Board

[ChrisPjazz]

Dumb question.

I'm replacing a PSU in a build of mine (my first). The board has a 4 pin 12atx but the CX500 appears to have a 8 pin. I thought they were all the same.

Am I missing something or is the answer painfully obvious?

EDIT: Our power supplies ship with an 8-pin connector that splits in half. Use half of this connector for the 4-pin EPS/ATX 12v connector on your motherboard.

So there is it. I'll leave this just in case someone else needs the info.

board is a gigabyte A75m-DS2
