where can you buy an 8pin cpu to 4pin power adapter?

Walker998

for a build i have chose the corsair cs450m due to it's value with the gold efficiency, and semi-modular cables, but it seems to have no 8 pin splitter from what i have seen and the motherboard only has 4 pins; i can only find 4pin to 8pin but not the other way around so help, preferably a uk supplier.

most power supplies have a "4+4 pin" (two halves)

 

if thats not the case, try plugging the 8-pin in the 4-pin header. it'll only go in one way, and as long as no other components are in the way it should work as intended.

yeah, i was looking at images of it and there is a very thin line which i'm so relieved with it also being a matx build with a window i wanted to to look as neat without having to use molex, and or overall use more cable length, i'm sorry but i'm so relieved since it means higher value (i do intend to do a build post in the future btw)
