I just bought an EVGA Supernova 650 PSU to power an older motherboard. (Intel D945GTP - it’s a 2005 era board. Yes, I know it’s old)

There’s a 4 pin socket on this motherboard.

Do I understand correctly that I am to split an 8 pin plug and plug in 4 of the 8 pins? I can’t tell from photos of the cables, but it doesn’t look like there’s any 4 pin cable included.

I haven’t even opened the EVGA PSU box yet. So if the PSU and MB are too far apart in age, somebody please let me know - I might just return the PSU unopened.

    Yes..Use only one 4-pin half of the 8-pin (4+4) CPU connector.

    Thanks for the verification. I’ve built a few PCs in my life but it’s been a while. This is a legacy retro PC that’s going to be built out of new old stock parts. I want to use the best PSU for the project. Thanks again.
