My friend is building a computer and he just ordered this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131795
and this power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

here is the psu specs:
1 x Main connector (20+4Pin)
1 x 8 Pin EPS 12V
1 x PCI-E
4 x SATA
3 x Peripheral
1 x Floppy

BUT the mother board requires a 4pin cpu connector

Will an 8pin cord work for the 4pin cpu connector?
