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 |
