Motherboard and 12V ATX Pins
Go to solution
Solved by Crunchy Dragon,
Older CPUs didn't need more than a 4 pin for power. More modern ones use an 8 pin. If you're doing a project with an older system like me, you only need 4 pins for the CPU. If you're building a newer PC that's newer than ~2010 or so you'll need 8 pin power.
Some CPUs like Threadripper and Kaby Lake-X need dual 8 pin power but I'm guessing you're not planning on getting those.
