I have unpacked my corsair vs 450 psu today. I have an original Intel 865 GBF motherboard and a P4 2.4 GHz CPU. The motherboard is ATX and require a ATX 12V connector (4 pin) in addition to the 20 Pin connector. My problem is that, I could not locate such connector in this PSU (unlike my local frontech SMPS which had a separate 4 pin connector.The warranty card said that the detachable 4 pin cable from the 24 pin cable cannot be used for the above purpose.It has one EPS/ATX12V labelled cable but it is 8 pin. I am not in favor of experimenting with it without your guidance. How can I get the 4pin 12V ATX supply from this PSU?

that 8pin cable should be detachable in 4+4 pin two cables. You can use one of those.

Are they interchangeable ? I mean, after detaching them, Can I use any one of them?

Hi,

Yes you can use any of them. You can check the colour of the cabels, they are yellow and black.
