The motherboard in my last computer died so i decided to rebuild and try to use as many parts from my old computer as I can until I can replace them.

My issue is that I have a Corsair TX650 and it says that it is ATX12v compatible but the CPU labeled connector is 8 pins and fit in the EATX 12v slot on my last motherboard.

My new motherboard is an ASUS H110M-E/M.2 LGA 1151 and it only has a 4 pin ATX 12v slot. Is there an adapter that I can use or is the PSU too old?
 
Solution
Some 8-pin connectors can split. So see if your is that way. If not, yes, they do make 8-pin to 4-pin EPS adapters.

be sure to orient the connector correctly. Note shapes in following image:
