I have a Sniper B6 mobo and an EVGA 750w G2 PSU. On my mobo's CPU power, there is a full 8 pin connector. On the PSU, said 8 pin connector goes into the PSU and a separate 2x4 pin CPU power cable. The cable, though, has one of the 2x4 cables that fits perfectly in 4 of the mobo's pins, and has square pins and those sorta rounded ones. Great. But the other part of the cable is just the rounded ones, which looks like it doesn't fit, but I can click it into place like the other cable without ramming it in. Is this okay? Would it fry my mobo or CPU when turned on? If not, how can I fix it?
 
Solution
Don't insert one 4 pin plug and then the other.
Plug the two side by side at once.
The clip has to be in the middle, not on the outside
