Accepted Answer

I used this adapter to help power the 8 pin CPU power connector on my motherboard.  My older power supply had a 4 pin connector and this adapter gave me another 4 pins so I could power the entire 8 pins of the motherboard.  Its simple to use, plug the 4 pin male "molex" connector into an empty cable from the power supply and the small 4 pin into the motherboard.  I did not use the 4 pin female "molex" connector because it has somewhat short leads and there were other, more flexible options.
