AB350M Gaming 3 ATX_12V Connector
« on: September 22, 2017, 05:43:54 pm »
Hi. Sorry if this was asked before.

I've built a new PC featuring the AB350M Gaming 3 and a Ryzen 5 1400. The PSU i'm using is the same from my previous system but it only has 1 4 pin 12v connector. I've plugged the 4 pin into the board's 8 pin socket as per manual description.

Not planning to OC the CPU.

My questions are: is a 4 pin only, enough for this system? Am i loosing anything by not having a 8 pin? Any risk of something going wrong?

Cheers for any help.

Na, most likely not going to work reliably on just 4pins - get a better psu (higher wattage) hence 8pins!
