My PSU Zumax 650W 8pinvs6 or 24vs20pin

Miguel2013 · Oct 4, 2012

I just got this motherboard:
ASRock 970 PRO3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 AT...
But I'm having trouble deciding what power connector to use, 6 or 8 pin and 20 or 24 pin or connect both the 6 and the 24 pin, the 6+2 won't fit so I can only use the 6 pin and the 24 ping, can someone explain me this so I can finish wiring up my computer.

Do NOT use the 6+2 pin plug, that is for the GPU and WILL NOT WORK with the CPU. Use the 4+4pin for the CPU power connector and the 20+4 pin for the main plug :toast:
