I haven't built a PC for a Very Long Time and things seem to have become waaay more complicated since then.
I'm upgrading from my current PC (3rd generation Intel I5) to a 13th generation I5. I'm hoping I'll notice some improvement in performance.
So I've bought all the parts for a new PC and I'm plugging it all together but I'm perplexed at one set of power connectors.
The new motherboard has two connectors labelled CPU_PWR1 and CPU_PWR 2
One is 8 pin. The other four pin.
The power supply (which would seem to be capable of supplying a small village!) has one cable which splits into two 8 pin plugs both labelled "CPU".
One of the 8 pin connectors clearly can split into two four pin connectors.
What the heck do I do? Which damn bit do I plug into which?
Please don't tell me to RTFM as each manual for every single component in this build is UTTTERLY FUCKING USELESS
Oh, and the PSU also has more cables in a bag and a bunch of sockets as it is a modular PSU. Not sure if that's at all relevant.
Thanks in advance for any helpful information.
