8 to 4 pin, will it work?

[DJready]

I got a Motherboard P5QPL-AM that has 1x 4-pin ATX 12V Power connector. The PSU that i intend to buy has 8 pin Pci-e 12V.

Will it work if i buy a 8 to 4 pin converter, like this one?

I reader somewhere that 8 pin can carry 150W power, if i use 8 to 4 pin adapter will i luse a lot of power?

thats a 4 to 8pin you have posted a pic of, the male/females are the wrong way round for what you want, does the psu have a splittable 8 pin? some do some dont, what psu is it?

Why wouldn't you just use half of the 4+4 ? that's what it's made for.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Thats why I asked for confirm on the psu, I wanted to know if it had a 4+4 or a solid 8 pin block
glad we could help DJ

Thank you +1 for bouth of ya

Another thing if i use 4+4 one connector wont i get less power out of it?

 

[delluser1]

You'll get the power that the chip needs.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Yup, I have an 8pin cpu socket but my psu only has a 4pin cpu line,
I overclock about 20% so I guess I get enough power from a 4pin
