Corsair CX650M 650W Bronze Power Supply , need a little help

[s8n]

hi OC members , i want to get the below PSU for my MAME-PC as i'm upgrading the GFX Card. My question is with the below PSU it has a 8 Pin Motherboard/CPU connector , my MAME-PC's motherboard needs a 4 Pin. If i'm correct by hand i can snap the 8 Pin in two and that would give me a 2x 4 Pin , so i can use either one to the motherboard ?

8 pin CPU is a 4+4. Should say so on the specs of the box psu at the website

hi ED i had a feeling you would swing by , checkout this still i took of a Youtube video for this PSU. It looks to me that i can break the 8 Pin connector in to 2 , which my Motherboard needs a 4 Pin. I think it's an option of todays PSU's for older MB's that take 4 Pin is that right ?

Yes. That is a 4+4 pin for the CPU. Either it works as 4-pin or both for 8-pin.
