Been lucky, haven't screwed anything up to need advice about for awhile but now have question. I'm buying new mobo and cpu and wondering if I can supply enough power to cpu.
Mobo is ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+, CPU is MD FX-4100 Zambezi (95W). Items as seen on Newegg.
Mobo has 8 pin conn, my power supply only has 4 pin. I understand you can sometimes use only the 4 pin on an 8 pin mobo but will that supply adequate power to a quad core 95W cpu? Power supply is 500W.
Thanks for any advice...
