Hello! I just wondered if the i5-8600k needs 8 pin cpu connector or if it can handle with 4 pin? It is 95w and i only have a motherboard with 4 pin.
I will not be overclocking it. So the question is will it work with 4 pin connector?
 
Hi

what is the motherboard?
The user guide and manufacturers website will list compatible CPU's.

If the motherboard only has a socket for 4 pin ATX 12 Volt plug from the PSU then that is OK for any supported CPU

If the motherboard only supports 65 Watt Intel CPU's then trying a 96 Watt CPU would be a bad idea
