So I finally built my new pc, however the 8 pin cpu power cable is too short, while the 4 pin cable is OK.
Do I need to buy a longer 8 pin cable or is 4 pin just fine? Does it provide enough power?
My system is:
Asus P7P55D-E
Intel i5-760
Kingston 4GB 1600 CL7
ATI 5850 1GB
Sony-Optiarc AD 7260S
WD caviar black 1TB
Chieftec 750W
Thermaltake Element S
