I purchased corasair cx430 psu with this mobo and it comes with 24 pin connector. But I dont see any 4 pin connector for CPU in my psu. Is that a problem?

The connector is on that psu. Trust me. It's the one that is 8 pin and can be split into 2 separate 4 pin connectors

Muhammad:Look to see whether there is an 8 pin connector. You will notice you can slide the connector in half, giving you two 4 pin connectors. One of these will fit into the four pin jack on the motherboard. You MUST have a 12 volt source in this jack, otherwise the processor will not turn on. If all else fails, they make a molex (four pins in a row, ground, 5 volt, ground 12 volt) adapter that you plug two of the molex connectors into it and the other end is the four pin jack.Hope this helps.

If you don't see a 4 pin connector you most likely have an 8 pin connector divided into two 4 pin connectors. Use that instead. Your psu has to have a 4 pin or 8 pin motherboard connector though
1478862
I may be wrong, but frequently there is an 8 pin connector which can be easily seperated/split in half by hand to be used as a 4 pin connector for your cpu

If you don't see the 8 pin that splits into 4 pin then you should use the warranty that comes with it.

My power supply's have an 8 pin cable that breaks into 2, 4 pin connecters, so you'd only use 4 of the 8 pins

It's 4 pin, and it will work with 3 pin. You just won't have PWM speed control. You'll have to adjust speed in the BIOS or with another application. Consider buying a board with 4 pins if that is an option, as 3 pin boards are usually of cheaper quality.

No power supply, the bundle is good but only if you are saving a lit, the cx430 or any corsair power supply is a great choice.

It doesnt require a power connector from psu, draws its power straight through the motherboard. Not sure about power requirements, i have a 480 watt psu and im running lots of accessories off it with no problems- tower with illuminated panels and cooling fans, neon light in tower, auxiliary blower motor, and sound card. system is a second gen i5 cpu w/ 8 gigs ram. You should be ok, unless you start putting all these lights into it.

no this is 1155 that cpu is 1156, and the power connector is 24 pin not 8 or 4

I haven't seen your motherboard but if it's like mine. I have a board with a 20 pin and and an extra 4 pin for the chip. This power supply is universal. It shows an 8 pin plug but it seperates into two 4 pin. What happens to be my board. But if you have a 24 pin. Just use the 20 and it will be fine. So if you have doubts, get it. It's a great power supply

This PSU comes with two 8-pin PCI-e connectors. If what you need is spare/extra cables then no, OCZ does not sell any. Check this out: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?94953-OCZ-PSU-Modular-Power-Cables-need-a-couple-more

Short answer: Yes.Long answer: This PSU supports a 24-pin motherboard and 8-pin CPU power connectors, which are the power connectors that your motherboard has. PC parts generally follow these sorts of standards for the sake of maximum compatibility (for example, I don't know of a single modern hard drive that doesn't use SATA or a modern motherboard that doesn't have SATA ports).

Your motherboard has 4pin connectors! Those are compatible with 3 OR 4 pin fans which is great! You'll be able to plug them into the slots labelled CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, SYS_FAN1, SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3, on your mobo :)

Yes, it needs 24pin power supply, and an 8pin 12V connector.It also needs a bios update right out of the box, IIRC. Very solid board once updated.

PWM = Power Management = 4 pin Connector with A fourth wire to control RPM. After reading my Asus Z77 Motherboard manual I discovered the ability to use 3 pin fans with Power Management via the UEFI BIOS. Not having a Corsair CO-9050008-WW I'm not sure but believe it's a 3 pin fan that will work with 4 pin using supplied adapter? High Performance Edition = wide paddle fan blades. Everything dependent upon your motherboard so please read the manual and check out Corsair website http://www.corsair.com/en/cpu-cooling-kits/air-series-fans.html or simply search "Corsair".

It's a standard 4 pin male to female connecting peripheral cable found standard with most desktop power supply units. They're used to supply power to just about every thing inside the tower frame. IE: Fans, drives, audio cards ect. They have white connecting pieces. Here is more info, chances are you have extra ones already inside your tower.

It does not connect directly to the 3 pin connector on your motherboard, but rather a standard 4-pin molex connector. There is an extra wire that holds the speed control switch. I set it to the desired speed and forgot about it. Works great in my NAS4FREE server - replacing a dead system fan. So it is very easy to connect to your power supply!

it comes with 2 power connectors 2 6pin which can be pluged in the power supply. i only use one of them and the other 6 pin on my psu on mine works grate so u need 2 6 pin it comes with them though just make sure your psu can hold them.. GL

The Corsair power supply has a multi functional connections and cables to fit different mother boards. if you read the directions on the Corsair and then read about your mother board first is your first steps. The power connector for your mother board requires you to separate or add power coins together. There will be either 2 power cables with the wiring harness or one that clips together or separates to accommodate your mother board. Second,, there is another power cable that connects on your mother board and it is more square. Once you read all your documentation, this will all become clear. Or, find a friend that has built a few to assist you.

It does come a 6-pin power connector as this is an overclocked edition and will overclock further. It depends on the quality of the 400 watt PSU. If it's rated in continuous watts, 80 plus certified, and has a single 12v rail with a respectable amp rating like 28A+, it will run this no sweat. If that's a crummy brand PSU rated at 400 PEAK watts, multiple low amp 12v rails, not even rated for efficiency, there is still a chance that it will be okay since this is a really efficient chipset. However, it will be a little risky and not one I would personally take, I would first save for a quality PSU if I was the type who had to save for such a thing. In fact especially if I was poorer I would, I would hate to fry all my expensive components I couldn't really afford because I skimped on power...

Is compatible with any motherboard, because it has a 20+4 pin for the main power to the motherboard.
