Hey guys,
I'm a newbie and I recently purchased everything i would need to make my first pc build. I am currently in the process of building.
My problem has occured now that im installing my PSU and connecting it to my Motherboard.
(PSU: Be quiet! Straight Power E9 680W)
(Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3)
I connected the 20 (+4) pin connector to the motherboard, then attempted to connect the 4 pin cable to the ATX_12V slot on the motherboard.. but wait, there is no 4 Pin cable with the PSU. Only a double 4 pin cable (CPU1-P4 & CPU2-P8).
Is it possible to connect these to the motherboard in some sort of way? (looking at the manual it doesnt appear so). If not, is there an 8 pin to 4 pin cable i can buy so that i can use the power supply?
I'll have to add that i am extremely annoyed and stressed as after countless hours of trying to build this pc, i now seemingly can go no further. I bought the PSU from Scan, who state on the page (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/680w-...-quiet-fan-atx) that a "1 x 4pin ATX 12V connector" is included with the PSU.
However, there is no notification on the box/in the manual of the PSU as to a 4pin ATX 12V cable being included. Should i take this issue up with Scan? Is there a simple solution to this problem (an 8 to 4 cable?). Am i just so stressed that i have made a very stupid mistake? I hope its something simple, and would really appreciate any advice help anyone could give.
Cheers,
Terry
