I want to this mother board for pc build http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131575 I noticed while looking at the pics that it has an 8pin cpu power connector. I would need an 8 pin right?? If so can u post some power supplies that have an 8pin connector??
don't think so as the motherboard uses a 24pin connector. what that 8pin is for i don't know. check manual from board site to see what it is for & post the info for other people to know.
Yes I agree with ddp. Right on the bottom of the specs its says 24 pin for power. So where ya getting 8 pin from?

look at the pics it has a looks like an 8-pin cpu power connector not a 4 pin like most boards. edit: do pentium d's need an 8-pin power connector
ozzy, you didn't look at the picture of the board as that connector is by the keyboard/mouse connectors. 444, check boardsite for manual to see what that connector is for.
I couldn't copy and paste it was a pdf file. So hear goes ATX power connectors 24 pin eatxpwr, 8-pin atx12v It is recamended that you use an atx12v specification 2.0 compliant psu witha minimum of a 350w rating. This PSU type has 24-pin and 8-pin power plugs Do not forget to connect the 8-pin atx+12v or 4-pin atx+12v otherwise the system will not boot up. Thats pretty much what it had.
So this is required on some boards to have an 8 pin instead of a 4 pin 12v. The second quote shows that one of the antec psu's has an adapter for either.
Here ya go problem solved and sorry I should have looked at the board. Thanks ddp.:> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812183045 This converts standard 4 pin to 8 pin power.
Is the above board high enough quality to run this processor on http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116237
