| 1342413 | 2013-05-20 23:37:00 | I've just received the Corsair TX65M PSU I ordered yesterday from Ascent - great service! I have started to install it and I have a question about one of the connectors. The motherboard is an ASUS M3A-H/HDMI, and it has a 4-pin socket labelled "ATX 12v". I am assuming what goes in there is the PSU connector labelled "CPU". However that is an 8-pin connector. Do I use that and leave 4 pins hanging, or am I totally confused? TIA |

| 1342415 | 2013-05-21 00:00:00 | Well, that's what I would have thought, but the PSU doesn't appear to be equipped with a 4-pin connector. So what is the 8-pin one for? | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1342416 | 2013-05-21 00:10:00 | I have a Corsair TX650m PSU. My mistake you are right. I just checked on my box and it says it has a ATX12V 4 pin and 8 pin compatible cable, so yes leave the 4 pins over hanging. From memory the connector will only go in one way. :) |

| 1342418 | 2013-05-21 00:43:00 | Yes, it will only go one way. The packaging for mine only says "1x EPS 12v CPU cable (8-pin) 650mm +- 25mm." I've also downloaded the documentation - thanks for your help. |
