tubbypants Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The 8 pin EPS cable splits into 2 x 4 pins if I recall correctly...the 6 pin PCIE is wired differently, if you use one of them you'll fry your board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Tubbypants is spot on. The 8 pin EPS cable is a 2x4pin connector and will split. Then it doesn't matter which half you use . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
