Motherboard question

[Timos]

So the motherboard I'm planning on choosing has a 24 pin and 8 pin, are these the cables for powering the mother board?

24 pin is for the motherboard power, the 8 pin can be either PCIe or cpu power.

 

If you want all matching cables then yes, get both, especially if you mean PCIe 8pin (assuming you have a gpu, and that requires an 8 pin connector). the cpu one won't be seen very much.

Dear all, I'm planning a build and I want to use the MSI - Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard. Because this is munch first build, I don't know which power supply pin connector to get from cablemod. It shows an 8 pin and a 24 pin. Should I get both? 

 

Thanks  

A 8 pin connector is for the CPU and the 24 Pin connector is used to power the motherboard, So yes if you want all the cables to be sleeved then get both

(Just gonna assume you're talking about the Z270 Pro Carbon) you will need the 24 pin and 8 pin (sometimes called 4+4 pin) connectors
