Hi everyone,
I am planning to get a new power supply as part of my new build. So far, I am considering a 750 G2. I have a question I want to ask as I am planning to use it with the Asus X99A-II motherboard.
It came to my attention while reading the motherboard manual that both the 8pin and 4 pin CPU connectors must be used. Although it also mentions the 4 pin as optional only for overclocking, it goes on to say that it is required to have both in. (So I decided I am going to put both in just in case). :)
Here are the slots on the motherboard:
When I look at the panel for the 750G2, I see two slot sockets for the CPU; "CPU1" and "CPU2":
Now I want to check to see am I correct for the following:
1: I plug the included cable that has the label "CPU" on its header as follows; 8 pin side into the PSU socket labelled "CPU1", the other end of this cable I think is a 4+4 pin side, into the 8 pin socket of the X99A-II.
2: I plug a second included cable that has the label "CPU" on its header as follows; 8 pin side into the PSU socket labelled "CPU2", the other end of the cable which I think is a 4+4 pin side will be split to only a 4 pin, then slide that into the 4 pin slot of the X99A-II.
3: The two cables mentioned above are included and I don't need to optionally get them?
Thanks for the clarification, this is my first time building so I wanted to make sure I am getting this right.
