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.
I connected *all* the power connectors on my b3's and they all work fine:
1 x 24-pin mobo connector
2 x EPS 12v
3 x PCI-E 8-pin
I looked around and didn't see any directions on the forums about which to connect, and Avalon shipped with no documentation, so I figured it's a power-hungry thing and why not just connect them all.
You cannot substitute the pci-e for the eps connector.
that only comes with ONE (ONE!!!!) CPU cable.
