Sorry if this has already been discussed:

Should I be connecting the second EPS12V CPU connection on the PDU board? It seems to be working just fine with one, but I'm not interested in toasting anything!

And if I should connect it, can I just use an 8-pin PCI-e connection? I've got only one "CPU" connection on my PSU.

Thanks all

Touch the wires. Slightly warmer than ambient is OK. Anything more is dangerous.

You absolutely CANNOT swap EPS12V for PCIE. Be careful because depending on the manufacturing tolerances, sometimes those molex plugs can fit the wrong socket. But I recommend you don't even try, it will short out the PSU.

That said, if someone knows what they are doing, they could theoretically change around the positives and negatives to make it work.
