A88X-GAMER ATX power connectors
• We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0-compliant power supply
unit (PSU) with a minimum of 300W power rating. This PSU type has 24-pin and
8-pin/4-pin power plugs.
• If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 8-pin/4-pin power plugs, ensure that
the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15 A on +12 V and that the PSU has a
minimum power rating of 300W. The system may become unstable or may not boot up
if the power is inadequate.
• DO NOT forget to connect the 8-pin/4-pin ATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the
system will not boot up.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when configuring a
system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional
devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is
inadequate.
