MOBO pwr pin question

[jmacavali]

It's got a new MOBO that has a 4 pin pwr connector. My pwr supply has an 8 pin. How does this work or what should I do?

Try pulling the 1 8 pin connector apart so there are 2 4 pin connectors...'doh

Yup, that should work

My motherboard has 8 pin power, and my power supply has 8 pin - however only 4 pins fit?
And my machine still works... is that something i should worry about?
