Hi All,
Using GA-Z87MX-D3H with a i7-4770.
The 8pin connection on Mobo for CPU only appears to have pin hole shapes that match up with one of the PSU 12v CPU cable, despite the cable having 8pin one end that fits to PSU and 8pins other end - split to 2 4pin plugs.
I've read on forums mixed advice. I can't seem to find a solid answer from the Gigabyte owners manual.
Who has this board GA-Z87MX-D3H with a Silverstone PSU??? how have you connected the power to board??
Reason I ask; I'm only using one set of 4 to power the CPU as that was all I could connect up. I didn't want to force the cables into the connectors.
The build was running fine for about a year. Then PSU failed. I've got the box back up and running - swapping out the 750w for the 850w Silverstone PSU(SST-ST85F-PT even smaller than the 750w - fits the phenom case heaps better) - Can't help but this this was part of the problem due to the symptoms when it failed.
If anyone has a link to a KB article that clearly states the Technical details about connecting/using only 4pins to power the CPU in a 8pin connector on the board that would be great.
Happy holidays.
