Rookie here with a quick question...
 
My old power supply had one square 4 pin AUX power cable (4pin ATX?) for the mother board. I'm getting today a EVGA 220-G2-0550-Y1 80 PLUS GOLD 550W to replace it. The list of connectors included are:
 
1 x 24-Pin ATX
1 x 8-Pin (4+4) EPS (CPU)
2 x 8-Pin (6+2), 1 x 6-Pin PCIE 
9 x SATA
3 x FourPin Peripheral
1 x Floppy
 
I have been reading online and I believe that the 8-Pin (4+4) EPS (CPU) is split into two square 4 pin connectors and I can use only one for my mother board.
 
Right? Wrong?
 
Thanks

    Yes, if your MB only has a connection for one, 4-pin EPS, then you can use either of the split 8-pin to power your CPU.
     
    Don't worry about being a "rookie" - ask away with your questions.

    Welcome to the Forums!
     
    Yes you are correct. You can use one of the 4-Pin connectors and have the other 4-Pin connector un-used.
