mother bd power question

[TorqueRanger]

I was giving a power supply corsair 550 but it does not have this 4 pin power connector labeled c in the pic . My question is do i need that 4 pin for my mb to work ?? Can i make a splice off a molex for that 4 pin for my stuff to work and how would it be wired up ?? Pics help because i am a little slow



Thanks
Jason

It looks like that's the 2x2 CPU power connector. Yes, you will need that for the system to run correctly.

Must be a really old PSU if it doesn't have that connector. Even s939, which came out in early 2005, had the 2x2 CPU connector ...

Hey - the first rig I assembled myself wouldn't run at all. Called up the place I had bought the parts from and we're going through their list - turns out I hadn't plugged the motherboard in at all.

LOL!
