HEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp


hello

I am building my custom PC and I bougth this

mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130558 that has an 8 pin CPU connector but I bougth this

Powe Sply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028
that has two 4-pin(12V) one @20Amps and the other @ 17AMPs and also this

Video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130591&Tpk=N82E16814130591

that needs a minimum of 12@24 AMps connected to the mobo

My BIG question is can I plug both 4-pin into the 8-pin socket on the mobo as one and
get the 24 amps needed

THANK YOU very very very much

Your confused, the video card will need the 2 PCIe connectors plugged into it. You have 1 pcie 6 pin and 1 pcie 6+2 pin on that power supply, just plug both into the side of the card and leave that +2 peice hanging there.

You motherboard has an 8 pin cpu power socket for itself. Your power supply only comes with a 4 pin connector. You dont say which cpu you bought but a 4 pin would suffice for most CPU's, over 100w look into getting an adapter for the 8pin cpu power.

thanks for so fast answer, but yes I know about PCIe connectors for the v card,

And yes I am realy realy confused about the 12V and 4 pin conectors are they the same...

I tought my PW sply comes with more than one 4 pin connector, am I wrong?

This are the output of my the PW SPly :
+3.3V@28A, +5V@34A, +12V1@20A, +12V2@17A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2.5A


this the CPU:

it require 125W

Thanks again
