I assume I will need one to go from 4 pin male (psu) to 8 pin female (motherboard) or is it better just to get a new PSU, but does a new PSU come with this connection (20+4 and a 8/4 as well)
Not sure tbh but i wouldve thought so.Quote:

I know the Libertys do anyway.
Pretty much every new psu should have a 4+4 or an 8 pin eps, most motherbosrds will allow you to just plug a single 4 pin eps into one half of the 8 pin socket.
That's what I thought as well, looks like I will have to do some more reading if the mobo can do or not :O_o1:Quote:

The hiper hasnt got a 4 pin? Is it very old?
You daft bugger :lol: it's got the 20+4 and a 4 pin but not the 8 pin connector :mrgreen:
Quote from another forum about it
and according to the manufactures FAQ looks like I can just use the 4 pin and use the red cover on the other part :)Quote:
I called PC Power and Cooling directly about this. The tech stated an 8pin EPS connection is only required if there and two physical processors, i.e. two separate sockets.
IMO what is occurring is MB manufactures are making the MBs compatible with both type PSs, ATX12V and EPS12V
