I have a cooler master thunder 450W PSU, I currently have a mother board which supports a single 4 pin connector from PSU to power the CPU,
I have ordered a Gigabyte GA-AB350M-GAMING 3 motherboard, a Ryzen 3. The motherboard has 8 pin connection to power up the CPU, will my 2x4 pin connector work?
weirdly, My PSU has 2 square shaped pins diagonally on one of the 4 pin connector, but on the other one there is not. I have switched both of those pins in my current mobo, both work, irrespective of the shape. anyways, I have a doubt that will it work or not, I don't want my new parts to blow up .:hot:
Edit: I mean the atx 12v ones.
