P4 extension

[guerrero]

I got my Corsair 430w today and the brake away from the 24 pin couldnt reach where the 4 pin is suppose to be and would this extension work?

That cable is for the 4-pin CPU cable...it won't work with the 20+4 pin mobo cable. You would need to get a 20+4 pin extension like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812198023

Only the 4 pin need to be extended, its a few inches away from the 20 pin connect by the cpu

You should have a single 4-pin ATX 12V connector that is in a separate location than the 20+4 pin power connector. If the 20pin section of the 20+4 pin power connector can reach the mobo header, then the +4pin section should be able to reach it too.

Are you trying to take the 4-pin power connector from the 20+4 pin mobo connector and plug it into the 4-pin ATX 12V header?

The "brake away" is not for cpu power
If your motherboard only has a 20 pin main connection the "break away" from the 20+4 just hangs out
Your psu has a 4+4 cpu power connector

break it and plug either side into the 4 pin cpu power header
