IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ AND YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER RIGHT AWAY:
I had a power supply that powered a micro atx mobo, can it power my new Asus M5a99fx Pro R2.0?
Okay, so i've been doing a pretty big upgrade today, my Rosewill Challenger just came in the mail, so i've been spending the entire evening re-building my new PC (first full rebuild). Got everything squared away, except one thing. ONE THING. These connections. So a little back story; i had an Asus Essentio CG1330 Desktop, the premade kind, yakno? So i'm using the stock power supply which is a 400w peak power supply. The only thing that frightens me, is that the connections that gave power (i assume) to the mobo (i don't know as much about computers as i should) was a 4-pin connection, but there is also a 6-pin connection. The only thing i can find on my new mobo is an 8 pin! The male 4-pin and 6-pin connection can fit inside the female, but doesn't obviously fill all of the holes (this is not meant to be a joke, i apologize). So is the power supply not able to power this mobo? Ill be providing pictures to show what i mean.
