Spectre 3.0 Integra PowerBoard Manual

PowerBoard PSU Cables:

The stock cables that come with every power supply can be used, plug in as many cables as input
connectors are available. Do not use components that have more connectors than Your power
supply has cables for. For example, if Your power supply comes with a single 8pin EPS (4+4) plug
and Your motherboard has 2X 8pin EPS connectors, then a better power supply needs to be used.
Singularity Computers offers custom sleeved and shorter PSU cable kits that are a better fit in
the PSU shroud area than stock cables.

PowerBoard Linking Cables:

Spectre 3.0 Integra comes with a standard kit of PowerBoard Linking Cables which includes 24 x
1, 8pin EPS x2 and 8pin PCIE x3. The pinout of these Linking cables is 1:1 like extensions but the
cables are custom to achieve an arch. The connectors are also female on both sides (refers to the
pin not connector). PWM and ARGB linking cables are also included to connect from your
motherboard or controller to the PowerBoard PWM and ARGB inputs. Use our Cable setup guide
if making custom Linking cables.

Power Connectors:

The input and output connectors are not wired directly together but they are shared, so if EPS-1-
IN is plugged in then any of the EPS outputs can be used, it is not limited to EPS-1-OUT. The same
applies to the PCIE inputs, they can be mixed and matched. The exception is the 12VHPWR
connectors, as there are communication lines in them where the power supply communicates to
the graphics card of how much power it can supply to it, so if the 12VHPWR-A-IN is used on the
input side then 12VHPWR-A-OUT must be used on the output side, same applies to 12VHPWR-B.
There is a PCIE 6P connector located next to the MB 24P connector for motherboards that have a
supplementary PCIE 6P connector for additional power.

ARGB Connectors:

The PowerBoard has built-in ARGB lighting and acts as an ARGB hub. An ARGB source, like a
motherboard ARGB header, must be connected to the ARGB-IN header on the PowerBoard. The
input header is marked with a white rectangle around it for easier identification. The PowerBoard
uses this ARGB signal to light up the built-in LEDs and splits this signal to all ARGB outputs. What
signal goes into the input will be displayed on the built-in LEDs and all LED strips attached to the
ARGB outputs, in parallel. The PowerBoard does not show up as an individual component in ARGB
controlling software, but it can be controlled by controlling the motherboard ARGB header, which
will show up in software. The PowerBoard LEDs and headers are powered by the power supply
24pin connection, so they will only light up when the system is turned on, but not when the
system is turned off or in stand-by mode. The ARGB headers are conveniently located where they
are expected to be used, next to radiator mounts, GPU, and CPU waterblocks and close to Elite
kits. Do not plug a 4pin/12V RGB device into the PowerBoard, only 3pin/5V ARGB/DRGB
(addressable/digital RGB) devices are compatible.
