8-Pin ATX Power Connector Pins Dont match

n00bHelpMe · May 3, 2014

The 8-pin ATX power connection from my PSU doesn't exactly match the connector on my motherboard.

Is it okay to still connect?

You have a 4+4 connector, it is keyed properly for being that. The second half of the 4+4 doesn't have keyed pins because you can use either half for a 4 pin motherboard and if they keyed it for the 8 pin slot the second half wouldn't fit in a 4 pin board. The connector and spot are keyed properly, it is fine.

If it plugs in without forcing it, it should be o.k.

A D shape pin will fit into a square socket but a square pin will not fit into a D shape socket. This is fine and works as it was designed to.
