EVGA Z790 CLASSIFIED (121-RL-E798)
EPS 8-pin 12V Power (PWR )
8P
, the 8-pin ATX 12V power connector provides power for the
EPS PWR 8P
CPU. Align the pins to the connector and press firmly until seated. The
secondary EPS is optional for improved overclocking, but is not necessary for
normal PC use, including gaming. Please remember to make sure that the tab on
the EPS socket is aligned with the release clip on the cable.
NOTE: If you can install the cable even though the tab and release clip are on
opposite sides, then you are using a PCIe 8-pin cable and will likely damage
your motherboard if powered on. Please review your power supply's installation
manual to verify which cables/connectors are designed for the CPU power.
