I have an asus crosshair mobo that wants the main power connector and the 8 pin, 4 pin, and a fan power plugin. The main power, 8 pin, and fan connections are easy..but the only connector on the corsair 850 ps that might fit is an extra pci-e power connector. The pci connection fits fine using the center 4 pins. Is that ok?

pci-e power connector on mobo

No, its not OK.
The 4 pin connector is a supplementary 12V power connector for the motherboard and this is not compatible with the PCI-E pin out.
This connector is likely optional depending on installed components.
What is you motherboard model?

Ok good thanks..I unplugged it. I have an Asus crosshair V a-z mobo.
Later in the manual it stated that this connection was optional unless many graphics cards are installed. I only have one 680, but this connector is going to be kind of buried after the liquid cooling is finished. Thanks again for the help.
