Since your running a FX CPU, you most definitely want to use a 8 pin plug in the 8 pin power receptacle. If you're planning to OC the CPU then you should also populate the 4 pin power receptacle that is near the CPU fan connection.

i do have 8 pin connectors, but none of them have the right set up.. need the rounded end at the top, and square on the bottom, their all the other way around. cant put it upside down because the clasp will hit a capacitor

second pic shows the clips on the inside where they will clasp onto mobo( they will not fit the mobo in this configuration)

Those two 4 pin connectors will fit in the 8 pin receptacle if the clips are on the same side.
Only one of the 4 pin units has square pins so that one goes first and the other 4 pin unit
has half round pins and it will fit in the other half of the 8 pin receptacle.
Thats the way I just did my crossfire IV board and it works just fine, you'll find that hooked up that way you'll have
all the yellow wires in a row on top and all the ground ( black) wires in a row on the bottom just the way they are suppose to be.
