But seriously though, it looks like it should work.

Std. 4 Pin

EPS 8 Pin

4 plus 4 Pin

As you can see, the keying on the leftmost pins look exactly the same so it should plug straight in.

You just plug the 8 pin EPS connector into the 4 pin connector on your motherboard. Half of the plug will just be sticking out over the one on the mobo. If there is enough space around it there will be no problems.

Ja, that's right. I've had to do that before.
