Hey, I just installed a new NAS and feel a bit stuck. No post updates, no display showing, and the CPU cooler is working hard. I’m not sure if I can get past this. Here are the details: I put everything together using what I had on hand—mainly the Asus PRIME B450M-A II with an AMD 300GE 2x16GB Vengeance DDR4 M.2 128GB Bequiet SFX 300W. The PSU only has a P4, but I think the 24-pin connector should be sufficient for the CPU. I’m pretty sure I’m making a mistake, but could you help me edit? I’m using the built-in HDMI port.

Ensure the CPU power connector is connected, otherwise the CPU won’t receive power. Insert the four-pin PSU into the eight-pin CPU power port, and it should start functioning.

The 8-pin connection is often a 4+4 format on the power supply side. If your motherboard only supports a 4-pin for the CPU, you can divide the PSU cable into two 4-pin sections or use them together for an 8-pin socket setup. It functions properly; the pin notches restrict it to one direction.

Great. It functions well. I assumed low-end CPUs need no extra 4-pin or 8-pin power and can draw current via the 34-pin connector.

You generally require a minimum of four pins to supply power to the CPU, as the 24-pin power isn't routed directly to it. Some NUCs or built-in boards use only the 24-pin or another connector that serves both the motherboard and CPU.
