it will be fine since your build uses so little power

So, my sister got herself an ASUS Prime H410M-A motherboard along with a Pentium Gold G6500. There is one problem. The PSU I gave her only has a 4 pin CPU power connector. Do I have to buy a new PSU with an 8 pin connector?

Technically no but what psu did you give her that only has a 4 pin? Sounds like a very old and or pc killer unit to me.

Well,

Its an FSP Group 450W 80 Plus PSU. It was supposed to come with a 4 pin + 4 pin connector but it never did. It was found in my shed but works very well when I tried it with a test rig

It seems to be a Novatech branded PSU. To be more specific its a PowerStation 450. Could be an OEM maybe? I have never heard of Novatech before
