4-pin CPU cord for Mobo?

[Johnmakuta]

I'm working on a mini-itx build with Ryzen and I am confused about what kind of CPU power cable I need for this board:

I've never had a board that didn't use at least a 4-pin CPU connector before. If I've using a modular power supply do I need anything special to make this work? Any suggestions? I can link the pcpartpicker list if need be.

That board has a 4 pin in the top left corner.  PSUs will have a connector for it.  Some have 6 or 8 pins that can be snapped apart into a 4 pin only.

You basically just need to plug in the 4 pin portion of the 8 pin (4+4pin) EPS connector, the other +4pin is left unplugged.

Ok, it might be a tight fit but that'll work. I've had that with weird GPUs that have a 6+8 pin before.

Just fold up the extra +4 pin section so it gets out of the way, just note that PCI-E and EPS cables are not interchangeable to make that clear.

I wouldnt touch that board with a 10 foot pole
