4.3 Cable Connection Guide

As a fully modular power supply, you only need to connect the cables required for your system components. This improves cable management and airflow.

1. 24-pin ATX Motherboard Cable: Connect the large 24-pin cable from the PSU to the corresponding port on your motherboard.
2. 8-pin (4+4) EPS/ATX 12V CPU Cable: Connect the 8-pin or split 4+4-pin cable to the CPU power connector on your motherboard. Some motherboards may require two such connectors.
3. PCI-E Cables: For graphics cards, connect the appropriate 6-pin or 8-pin (6+2) PCI-E power cables from the PSU to your graphics card(s). Use separate cables for each connector on the GPU if possible for better power delivery.
4. SATA Power Cables: Connect SATA power cables to your SSDs, HDDs, and optical drives.
5. Peripheral (Molex) Cables: Connect Molex cables for any other components requiring this type of power, such as case fans or older peripherals.
