no ATX12v pin on power supply

[=sw=warlord]

Got a nice new 850w power supply today and while installing it i noticed it don't have the typical 12v connector that sits next to where the processor go's.
Any ideas on what im supposed to do if my power supply don't have anything to power my processor?
I thought all standard ATX power supplies came with the standard ATX 12v plug but obviously not.
Doe's this thing kick out so much power the processor just doe's not need the extra plug or something?

Uhm, there might be a 2x2 plug attached to the side of it, you can just pry it off and it should fit on.. Or atleast I'm not sure.

the main plug supports 20pins but also has a 4pin attachment thats used to change it into a 24pin plug for the new motherboards in which last i saw [few days ago] still use the 12v quad pin next to the cpu.

Can you give us a name/model for the PSU?

On some models it will be an eight pin that breaks in two.

The psu is:
Active power
850w

seems the power supply has eps12v instead of atx 12v.

Yeah, it's an EPS12V. Buy yourself an adapter, they shouldn't be too expensive (just a couple bucks at most). I'm surprised it didn't come with one actually.

Next time try to avoid buying computer components on eBay - every purchase is a gamble. It's better to buy from a real computer retailer because then you can return something if it doesn't work (DOA, wrong part, etc.). "Active Power" doesn't seem to be a very well known brand either and for PSU's it's better to stick to the big names like OCZ/PC Power and Cooling, Corsair, Thermaltake, etc.

Yeah but im a hermit living in the cave on the outskirts of a small town so theres not really much around.

You still have access to newegg.com and the like, which are all certified computer retailers who accept returns.

And if you have internet, you can Newegg. :-3

Considering he was using the European version of Ebay, I don't think he has access to Newegg (which doesn't ship there IIRC, never bothered checking).

[NullZero]

Funnily enough, I checked that yesterday...unfortunately:

Does Newegg.com ship internationally?

Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.

Yeah.
I live in the UK and in order to even register on new egg you must input your state code as thus i cannot even register.
i found the eps cable snaps into two same way the 24 pin main connector snaps into 20+4.
thanks for your help any ways.
