Motherboard 12v ATX connector issues

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

Hi,

I have recently decided to build myself a computer as I have helped my friends build a computer. I am getting all my parts from 2 sources, 1 of which have already arrived. I decided to 'dry fit' my ASRock 990FX K1ller motherboard with my Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 850W PSU (semi-modular). the 24 pin connector fits fine but I am eventually going to overclock so I checked the pins of the 8 pin 12v connector, but the shapes are different.

Is this a problem or can I just ignore it and place the 'faulty' connector in the same fashion as the one that works.

 

Thanks,

Luke

never seen a 4+4 PCI-e power connector

It is usually 6+2.  You're right, that's weird.

That's a 4+4 EPS/ATX.  Should be fine. Nothing faulty with it
