CPU power on motherboard?

Question

Computers

Bought a power supply and motherboard. In the 8pin motherboard, the power supply also has 2 4pin connectors, but only 1 4pin power supply connector is suitable for the motherboard. The second has different contacts. What to do? Change BP?

Answer 1

In the 8pin motherboard, the power supply also has 2 4pin connectors, but only 1 4pin power supply connector is suitable for the motherboard.

One is enough to feed the processor. But if you really want to and have a penchant for needlework, then here's a repost of my answer to another similar question:
Adapter 4-> 8 will solve your problem. But you can do without it, since these power connectors are collapsible:

The bent tabs on the contact are stoppers, thanks to which the contact is kept in the case. If they are pressed with any suitable flat tool (for example, a sharpened screwdriver), then the contact is easily pulled out. After pulling out, it is necessary to restore the limb of the legs, as shown in my photo. Then you need to get the body of the 8-pin connector from the old PSU, release it from the previous contacts in the same way and (attention!) Insert the contacts just removed from both 4-pin ones in the same order of wire colors .
