i think i had a problem with motherboard ...

ok well when i was building my computer my motherboard a 4 pin power connector for the cpu and my power supply had an 8 pin power connector i didnt think it was problem since i was able to split the 8 pin into a 4 pin (not break but ithats how it was made) then a couple days later my mobo died. im still not sure if this was a problem but i also want to know whats the difference between ATX12V and ATX12V/EPS12Vthe reason im asking is cuz iv seen mobos with 4 pin connectors next to the cpu and iv seen other s that were able to hold all 8 pinsmy psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004my mobohttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130138%26Tpk=cf-fwas there anything wrong between the two?i think i had a problem with motherboard ...
I think you just got unlucky with the mobo. Splitting the 8 pin into a 4 pin and connecting it to the motherboard with that if you have to should work just fine.RMA the motherboard and then the PSU if the replacement doesnt' work. i think i had a problem with motherboard ...
ok thenalso do you know the difference between ATX12V power supply and an ATX12/EPS12V power supply?
Don't quote me on this, but I think ''EPS12'' just means a server form factor type thing where the only difference from the current ATX standard is the addition of a 4+4 pin rather than 4 pin connector for some motherboards, and the only reason this is done is to address the additional power draw from things like Quad-cores. It should be fully compatible with regular ATX and MATX motherboards.
