1 x Main connector (20+4Pin)
1 x 12V(8Pin) 4 + 4 pin

Powe Supply name is:

COOLER MASTER Elite 460

he mother board has a

# One 24-pin ATX power connector
# One 4-pin ATX power connector

Here is the name of the Mother board:

* Motherboard manufacturer's name: Asus M2N68-LA

Shawn, I do not believe there is a solution other than returning that produce for a credit and ordering another...:-o

GL and report back to us...

 

I found this


You can also plug an 8 pin 12 volt cable into a 4 pin 12 volt motherboard connector. I don't have a picture of this one but it looks similar to this. Four of the pins on the 8 pin cable fit into the motherboard connector and the other four pins hang off the end. The 8 pin cable only fits into one end of the 4 pin motherboard connector unless you try hard to force it into the wrong position. The 8 pin cable is electrically compatible but it may not fit into a 4 pin motherboard. There is often a component which blocks the area where the 4 pins would hang off the end. And sometimes the plastic end of the 4 pin connector is too thick to fit between the pins of the 8 pin cable.

I tried to find a adapted but all i can find is the 4 pin to 8 pin

I don't see why it why it won't work

Your PSU has a 4+4 pin which means it has two 4 pin plugs and you can detach one.

 

Thank you pclover i found that out after doing some research but i do appreciate you letting me know. Not to smart when it comes to pc parts but i did a quick order and forgot to look lol.

I agree with PClover.

You have your 20+4 pin for the power connector and you have the 4pin for the CPU power the other 4pin is an "optional extra" and means the PSU can be used with either a 4pin and or 8pin CPU power connector.

I have a similar type of PSU and have used it for a 4pin CPU and an 8pin CPU motherboards without any problems whatsoever.

You have no problem!
