Hi guys,

Hi everyone !

New there, i have some troubles plugging my ATI 4850 to my new CX430 power unit as the label on the PSU is pretty confusing.

Can you confirm me i can use this cable, plug the 6+2 pins on the graphic card and 8 pins straight on the bottom 8 pins connector on the PSU ?

That connects flawlessly but i haven't touched a pc since my P2 233 and Voodoo Blaster 15 years ago and got pretty confused by the label on the unit displaying the bottom connector could be a 4+4 CPU.

I just need you to confirm i won't burned down the whole computer !

Thank you for your help guys ;)

Ok thank you very much. I don't really know why they labelled this as left part is "Peripheral & sata" and the right part is up : 6+2 pci-e, and down : 4+4 cpu. Not really smart design... nor idiot proof ;)

Thank you for enlightment !
