Doubt between compatibility

[boncoe]

Hello, it turns out that I started assembling a friend's computer today and when it came time to connect the motherboard to the power supply, I ran into a problem, if you can call it that.
The motherboard is an Asus Prime B320 M-K and the power supply is a Corsair VS650W Plus White 80. It turns out that I connected the 24-pin power cable to the motherboard perfectly and when I went to connect the other 12v atx power cable, I realized that this power supply doesn't have it . I configured all the components through Pc Componentes and it gave me compatibility for both components. According to the power supply manual (in English), it says that one of the 8-pin connectors can be divided and from there feed the 4-pin connection on the board. I ask, can this be done?, the fact of "cutting" or "separating" I manually the connector dividing the connections?
And another doubt is that if this power supply only has one 8-pin cable that in theory would power the graphics card, could I do the above mentioned with another cable from the 6-pin pci express power supply leaving it only with 4?
Thanks and sorry for the long text.

Hello, you can connect the 8-pin connector to the 4-pin connector on the board without any problems, always respecting the fitting position. This is because a large number of current boards (especially high-performance ones) have 8-pin connectors on the board instead of 4 as it used to be in the past. What I do not recommend is cutting it manually, it is better to connect it without further ado on the board connector.

Regarding the PCI express power supply, I do not recommend experimenting with it, even though the voltage it delivers is the same, since the one designed for this purpose is the 8-pin.

Thanks Sylver, but even doing it as you explain, it turns out that this model of power supply only comes with one 8-pin connection, which I need to power an Rx580. What would be the solution? I thought about buying a molex atx to 4 pin adapter cable. How do you see it?

If it's like the one in the picture, you have the 8 pin atx on one side (you would only connect the 4 that fit), and two 6+2 connectors for PCI-Express

Salu2!

Exactly, I think I made a mess, jejejeje. Regards
