B Blisber Honorable Dec 1, 2013 36 0 10,530 Dec 28, 2014 #1 I'm using the ASRock H81M-HDS LGA 1150 motherboard and a CORSAIR CXM series CX430M 430W power supply. The power supply comes with 8 pins for the cpu but theres only 4 pins to connect it to, or is there? Am I doing something wrong?

Solution ifreakyftw Dec 28, 2014 Some motherboards only have 4, you'll be fine. Some even have up to 6 or 8.
