This is probably gonna sound really dumb... but.... what is the little 4 Pin power connector on the mobo for? Iv plugged in both the ATX and the little one. Everythin is fine. No info in manual or nuthin. cheers

That is to power the CPU off the 12V rail. Much better - lower current, more stable, and can run off a lower power PSU.
