cpu power mgmt.

[openthatchest]

my MB only has one spot for a 4-pin cpu power cable, so what do I do?

What PSU?

EVGA 80 plus 500 Watt

You should plug the 4-pin CPU power cable into that one 4-pin socket. They usually only have one 4-pin on Intel boards.

You only NEED the normal 4 pin in most cases, the extra +4 connector is for stability. It is much like the 20+4 main power connector, it will work with just the 20 pin plugged in (like older motherboards have), but if you have the 24 pin on both ends you want to use it.

^ As said above. 8pin or double 8pin headers are only with higher end boards and to allow higher OC stability. Or with server/WS boards for same reasons. You only need one 4pin.
