So my psu has a 12 pin cable and my motherboard has a 24 pin slot. What can i do? Do i just have to buy a new psu? Also my psu’s cpu cable cannot reach the slot on the motherboard. Can i move around my psu inside the case, so that the cable can reach the cpu slot? (That doesnt matter if i have to get another psu anyway) Sorry im new at building pc
