AskN0More Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hello I am recently building a new computer and i already have that PSU. My question is since PSU only support 8 pin connector, is it going to be a problem with this motherboard? Mother board requires 8 + 4 pin connector... Thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgul Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Yeah.......8 + 4, You can use the 8 pin only but two things, don't put one of those 12 core CPUs or an 8 core with heavy overclocking, mild at best. My RM1000i came with two EPS cables and I'm using both. Although if I were you, I'd buy that extra EPS cable and use it for the 4 pin connector. But that's me.

Unfortunately my Rm750i doest have extra eps output... From all the readings, i was leaning towards Rm750i with only 8 pin connector on the board but things changed when i saw rm1000x which has 2 eps output is on sale for black friday :) I grabbed one and waiting for it to arrive :) I think this is the best solution for now and future both. Even not now, I dont know if i ill overclock the cpu or i will go crazy and grab one of those 3950x so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 No, it'll have the output connector; it just doesn't come with the cable. The PCIe and EPS/CPU cables both use the same connection on the PSU side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for answer and this is great...Well I read the specs and its written as there is 1 eps connector there so i thought we can not use pci-e outputs for cpu eps cable.... So you mean this is written in specs sheet to explain how many cables it has for each output right? I am not good at PSU things so i was afraid to try to buy a new cable and try on pci-e output.. Edit: On the PSU, i see 3 outputs for CPU and PCI-E. Since i have Gtx1080 ti uses 2 and cpu uses 1 of them, I still need 1 more EPC connector for x570-e right?
