I Have An MSI P45 Neo Motherboard With One 4Pin 12v Connection, But I Have Bought A PSU Powersuply Unit 750 Watts With 2x 4Pin 12v Connectors. Now Will This PSU Work fine With My Mother Board?

MSI P45 Neo
8gb Patriot 800 Mhz DDR2 Ram
Intel Q6600
8800GT

PS: I have Read About Some Safety Thing On Mother Boards That Is TO be Removed, Perhaps It Only Applies To Some Mother Boards But Kan Someone Explain This TO Me Also Thanks. :hello:

Yes, your psu will work with your motherboard. Just plug in one of the 4-pin, 12 volt connectors. Some motherboards require 4 pins and some motherboards reuire 8 pins. Your psu can supply power either way.

Put your PSU 1 x 4 into your Mother.

it's fine the two four pin connectors snap apart and you use half of it. Next gen boards need extra power for all the PCIe slots so they have the eight pin connector.
