Old PSU had CPU connector. New one doesn't?

Solution



Yep.. it is impossible that it doesn't exist on a corsair psu and highly unlikely that is a defect. Its probably in the form of a 8pin connector that can be broken apart for 2x 4 pins. Look for white writing on the plastic plug ... it should say 'CPU'... thats your one.


Hope...


it has to have one, its most likely has a 4+4 connector and they are stuck together, most newer board have an 8 pin cpu connectors now, check for a random 8 pin connector that has 4 yellows and 4 blacks on it, it even is labelled cpu

From Corsair's Power Supplies FAQs:

Q: Where’s the 4-pin EPS/ATX 12v connector that I need for my motherboard?

A: 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.
