    Hello, I have a slight concern about computer hardware.
    Specification:
    PSU: Chieftec GPB-400S
    Motherboard: MSI B450m pro m2
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200
    GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 ti -Courier-
    GPU for test: Nv GTX 950
    The thing is, I'm not sure if the CD with the card I'm waiting for will work?
    The 4 pin board works as it should
    Of course, I can buy an adapter from 4pin cpu to ESP, but even though I currently don't have one, would it work somehow?

    If it works, it's ok. As a rule, all pins are bridged on the PCB.

    Added after 59 [seconds]:

    The CPU board's power connector is used to power the CPU.

    The card with the disc will work.

    I don't understand the rest of the gibberish, but if you mean that you have a 4pin cpu power supply in the power supply and the board has 8pin, it will work calmly on this 4pin plug, 4pin is 240W of power and it is too much for such a poor motherboard without any cooling of the power section .

    Always buy with a heatsink on the motherboard's VRM, even if you only have 1200 Ryzen, which is always and strongly recommended to OC. Do you have dual and high clocked RAM or did you buy just anything?

    How did your friend calculate it?

    Watching smarter than me :)

    even here, because it's not hard to find here.




    So that when you look at it, you will laugh at inventions that have more than 8pins, which are not required anyway.

    This board has an 8pin connector for CPU power. Plugging in a 4-pin plug (fits one way) and the board works flawlessly. Of course, you don't choose a board without heatsinks on cou or igpu power. And cooling on nvme is recommended. If we are sure that we will not use integrated graphics in the case of ryzen, we will not buy a cou with igpu, you can skip the graphics power section. And the gtx 1050 card does not have an additional power connector, so we don't plug anything in there. All you need is 4 pin for powering the cou and 24 pin atx of course I have it and it's ok only my board is Gigabyte aorus b450 itx.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the compatibility of a 4-pin CPU power connector with an 8-pin connector on an MSI B450m pro m2 motherboard when using an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU. Users confirm that the 4-pin connector can be used without issues, as it provides sufficient power (approximately 190 watts) for the Ryzen 1200, which does not require the full capacity of the 8-pin connector (up to 330 watts). Recommendations include ensuring proper cooling for the motherboard's VRM and considering the power requirements of the GPU, specifically the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 ti, which typically does not require additional power connectors. The conversation emphasizes the importance of using a heatsink on the motherboard and clarifies that the 4-pin connector will function correctly in this setup.
