EPS 8-pin 12V Power (PWR )
8P
, the 8-pin ATX 12V power connection, is used to
EPS PWR 8P (REQUIRED)
provide power to the CPU. Align the pins to the connector and press firmly
until seated. Please remember to make sure that the tab on the EPS socket is
aligned with the release clip on the cable. NOTE: If the tab and release clip are
on opposite sides, yet the power connector fits, then you are using a PCIe 8-pin
cable, which WILL damage the board if powered on. Please review installation
instructions from your power supply manufacturer to verify which connectors
may be used for the CPU power.
, the 4-pin ATX 12V power connection(s), is used to
ATX PWR 4P (OPTIONAL)
provide additional power to the CPU. Some power supplies provide a
dedicated 4-pin CPU ATX power connector, while other power supplies split
an 8pin EPS connector into a 4+4 pin connector; either of these 4-pin power
connector are proper connectors for this port.
This secondary power connector is optional to provide additional power for
improved overclocking. Please remember to make sure that the tab on the
ATX socket is aligned with the release clip on the cable. NOTE: If the tab and
release clip are on opposite sides, powering on the system WILL damage the
board. Please review installation instructions from your power supply
manufacturer to verify which connectors may be used for the CPU power.
