Well that is your problem. The CPU is not getting power without that power cable. Surely that PSU would have one?? Some of the newer, bigger wattage PSUs have two 12v 4 pin connectors. Perhaps these are stuck together?? PS Welcome to PressF1! |

| 563189 | 2007-06-26 09:23:00 | If this is it (www.phoronix.com) You're right It says: It would have been ideal if the SilverStone Olympia had both a 4-pin and 8-pin EPS12V power connector for use in server environments requiring the extra power; however, motherboards like the Tyan Tempest i5000XT that require both connectors can use a molex to 4-pin ATX12V power adapter. The 8 pin is for PCI-E, so if u have any PCI-E cards, dont chop that 8 pin in 1/2. And if there's a molex connector on the mobo, it maybe easier to get an adapter and plug it into that. |

Silverstone olympia 650w PSU Yes it does . Its 8pin, because there are 2 4pins and they are currently joined, they unclip so that you can use 1 4pin . Look closely . |
