help with tp 650

[wilma101]

i got a new tp 650 to replace my old ez cool one and I'm doing some upgrades to my rig and have come up against a problem with the PSU in regards with my new motherboard the msi big bang xpower, as the mobo requires two 8 pin, the psu comes with one and two 6+2 pins the problem is that the 6+2 pins do not fit the 8 pin for due to the shape to the 2 pins while the 8 pin fits fine. I've been reading on the net that antec are good with helping with cable issues with their products, is it possible for me to get a modular 8 pin antec cable from some where.

Hi wilma101,

The TP-650 comes with 1 x 4pin ATX and 1 x 8pin EPS connector for the CPU. The 6+2pins connector that you see coming from the PSU are PCI-E connectors used for powering graphics cards. Since we do not have a modular cable that will allow you to add one more 8pin EPS connector for your motherboard, you should be able to find a 4pin ATX to 8pin EPS adapter at your local computer parts store or online fairly easily. This way, you can convert the 4pin ATX connector into a second 8pin EPS connector.

Thanks
