Detailed explanation-1: -8-pin power connectors are found in high-end graphics cards. 8-pin connectors have 4.2mm pitch and can deliver up to 150 watts, twice the amount that a 6-pin connector is capable of.
Detailed explanation-2: -For modern mainstream Intel and mainstream AMD, you should only ever need to plug in 1 of the 8-pins for any sort of normal use. There is some speculation that some boards benefit from having both 8-pins plugged in for “cleaner power", but there’s basically no real empirical evidence to back this up.
Detailed explanation-3: -Almost always, your PC’s power supply will include an 8-pin connector that breaks in two, known as a 4+4-pin. This allows it to be connected to both 4-pin and 8-pin connectors-just put one of them aside if you don’t need to use it. In some power supplies, you might find more than one CPU cable.
Detailed explanation-4: -In short your mobo need 8 pins connector from your PSU to your mobo and 4 pins will never work.
