Need help with power supply for the Taichi

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I purchased the z390 Taichi. Really nice mobo.

Two 12 volt leads are needed for v1 and v2.
I have a Corsair rm850i which does 'not' have a 4-pin 12v, only the 8-pin 12v.

So can some tech people and members here recommend some power supplies for my mobo? I sure would appreciate it. My new build is stalled. 

If possible I would like another Corsair p/s, but I cannot tell which one would have both 12v leads.

Thanks in advance.

	Received an email stating that the 8-pin is fine. The 4-pin should be used when doing overclocking. Motherboard is awesome! Worked right out of the box with W10. Using i9-9900kf and 32gb of G.Skill TridentZ memory (2 sticks). Using a Noctua NH-U12S (ugly fans but they do the job and are quiet). Played BF4 for a couple of hours and cpu temp stayed around 52c. Samsung 860 drives.

	850W psu is plenty and pretty sure over-dimensioned. For missing additional 4pin 12V just use an adapter using the other cables of the psu, like this one: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41Io4DEtWSL._SY355_.jpg
