Yes, you need to get a power supply that provides the extra power throught the 4-wire cable. &nbsp;I suggest you get a good quality one, so that it will provide for future peripherals and deliver power when needed. &nbsp;I recommend Enermax, Antec Truepower, Zalman, PC Power &amp;&nbsp;Cooling, or Thermaltake Purepower. &nbsp;Here's one I got recently: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=17-153-006&DEPA=0" rel="ugc">http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=17-153-006&DEPA=0</a><br />

Dear experts,<br />
<br />
I have recently bought a KT6V motherboard and AMD Sempron 2600+ CPU following a hardware crash. The vendor assured me that the CPU would work on the motherboard. However, when I put the system together, I could not make it work. Not even got a video signal. The diagnostic LEDs indicate processor failure. I looked on MSI's web site and it reports that the KT6V is actually compatible with Sempron. The motherboard comes with a 4-pin CPU power socket which is supposed to provide power to the CPU. I do not have that cable. Does anyone know if this is likely to be my problem, i.e., do I have to connect the power cable in order for my CPU to function or could this board be incompatible with the Sempron?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help. This is driving me insane.
