Osirius Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hi! I need help! I have psu HX1200i (photo below) and want to buy new motherboard z690 (for example, asus rog strix z690-f). Tell me, please, is it possible to plug 2 CPU cables to make 8+8 as requaired in new z690 boards. I mean, is it possible to plug one cpu cable in 4+4 cpu (on the right on my photo) and another one cpu cable plug to 6+2 pci-e (to the left of 4+4) ?

LeDoyen Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) those 6 are the same connectors you can plug 6+2 PCIE or 4+4 CPU anywhere amongst the six 8 pin sockets. And do not worry too much about using two 8 pin CPU cables. one alone is enough to power even a 12900K. a single 8 pin can provide slightly above 330W. It's nice to connect two but it's not mandatory unless you try to tackle extreme overclocking. Edited November 11, 2021 by LeDoyen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I had an HX1200i powering my 24 core ThreadRipper. It didn't even breathe hard. It will be just fine with a z690. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
