Hello all i'm new to the PC gaming world and this is my first PC build.
So bare with me.......
My question would be if i have a CPU Cooler with a 4 pin connector but my motherboard has a 8 pin connector will this still work? I have checked all items through PC Part Picker and no compatibility issues came up. Your feedback is appreciated.
Also I will not OC my CPU until I have a better understanding of everything. At that point i will buy a liquid cooled setup.
Below are links to the two products I currently have.
