power supply More than one power supply?

[C130113146]

So I have an MSI 970 motherboard and an Fx 8320 CPU

 

I also have a 410W power supply and a 275W power supply. 

 

The motherboard needs a 24 pin and an 8 pin for the CPU. The 410 only has a 20 pin and a 4 pin but the 275 has a 24 pin and a 4 pin. 

 

The question I'm asking is could I use the 275W to power the motherboard and put the 4 pin in the 8 pin socket and use the 4 pin on the 410 to power the other half of the 8 pin socket?

 

If by any chance you are completly lost I can try to explain better

 

Also, I know I could go buy a 20 pin to 24 pin but that still doesn't solve my need for an 8 pin. I wanna do this without spending anything.

No, you cannot. The connectors are keyed differently, so they won't even both fit in the connector. If you don't have a PSU that has an 8-pin CPU power connector, you're going to need to get one. Be sure not to cheap out on one.

Alright, thanks for the info

in theory you can bodge together two power supplies, but for the love of god dont. if you cheap out on your power supply "solution" and it makes things go thermonuclear, add up the cost of replacing all the parts in your system before you realise how silly it is to cut corners on a power supply.

It's not that hard to link up two psus if you know what you are doing. You only need an adapter cable. Miners do it all the time. However, it is also quite easy to start a comfy little fire this way.

It wouldn't even work here (without some soldering and weird wiring or money which OP says is a no) because of the ways the connectors are made.
