5. Power connectors
These Power connectors allow you to connect your motherboard to a power supply. The
power supply plugs are designed to t in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and
push down rmly until the power supply plugs are fully inserted.
Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output when conguring a
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or
may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
• If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system, we
recommend you to refer to online resources for Power Supply Wattage Calculator.
• If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with 1000W power
or above to ensure the system stability.
