So, I'm about to order more or less an entire new computer. But, I happened to open newegg's image viewer for the Abit IP35-E that I'm planning on, and raised a red flag:
One of the labels on the overhead shot of the board is labelled 8-pin cpu power connector. Now, the issue I'm worried about is that my power supply [which I'm planning on re-using] only has a 4-pin cpu power connector. Do I have to buy an upgraded psu as well?
On a not-so related note, the board also has an "additional power connector" that looks like a standard 4-pin molex plugs into it. What's that for?
