Need to identify a cable on the power supply.

4 pins 2 of em together?

[Lagwin]

looks like additional power for the mobo which are either 4 or 8 pin

[chazus]

Kind of a poor picture. Does it say 12v? CPU? 8?

It's probably the 4+4 CPU power plug.

It is a 4+4 CPU power plug, now I can't find anywhere to put these. Are they for older model mobos or something?

No, those 4 or 8 pin connectors are meant for mobos that support over 50W processors, basically everything today... In most modern boards it's 4pin for mATX or smaller board and 4+4 pin for full ATX or bigger board. For example on this picture of new Asus P8Z77-V you plug the 4+4 pin cable to the blue connector at the right edge of the board close to CPU socket. This extra CPU power connector will always be near CPU socket and probably same color as the big 24pin power connector elsewhere.

Yes but I already connected a 8 pin one for my mobo which is

Did you perhaps connect a power cable meant for graphics card into the CPU power socket? 6+2 pin cable goes for graphics, 4+4 pin for CPU (and I didn't know you you can put those wrong way around).

Or do you perhaps have some 1000W+ monster PSU that comes with two power cables for CPU in both 8pin and 4+4pin format? Maybe time to open that PSU manual and see what's inside...

[chazus]

What power supply do you have?

Also, maybe a better picture...? Black cables on black background with low light isn't conducive to helping >.>

Nevermind. I'm assuming you have the Seasonic M12II 620. It has a 4+4 CPU as well as an 8 Pin CPU (as well as the 6 and 6+2 PCIE). They do not get used together. One set is omitted. The CPU power cables are NOT modular.

Tell us the Power supply and we can know for sure but at this point i am assuming that Chazus has it figured out with the multiple power options.

I went back a few posts made by the OP when he was getting his system built, and of the suggestions, the Seasonic 620 has that exact config, so I figure thats what he has, with the dual 8 pin, and him having an extra 8 pin. =D
