Hey,

I got another problem with my new PC build: On my motherboard there are two connectors: 1x 8-Pin and 1x 4-Pin Connector. I only got a cable which is split into 2x 4-Pin-cables. How do I have to plug the cables in? I got a Ryzen 7 3700X with 65W TDP.

 

Thanks for your help and merry Christmas everyone!

You ignore the 4 pin connector on the motherboard, and just plug in the 8 pin.

Both cables in the 8-Pin one?

The 4+4 cable should click together to form an 8pin connector. Insert that in to the 8pin socket.
