From what I can tell from the user manual, on pages 1-27 and 2-7, it appears you only need to plug in 2 x 8 pin CPU connectors:




Almost all 850w quality PSUs come with two CPU power cables, so a unit like the Seasonic Prime PX-850 or Prime GX-850 would work.

Wow. All the power connectors on the EDGE of the motherboard. How novel!

You will need to plug in the 24 PIN AND the 2 8-PIN connectors. The spare 4-PIN power connector is optional for extreme over-clocking. For most people, the 4-PIN power connector is not neccessary.

Depends on what CPU you plan to use in it.

+1 especially if your overclocking or not, and also what and how many GPU's you intend to load up on it.

Hi

I have same motherboard and I am using the Asus Thor power supply. From the image you will see that I connect 8,6 (Be aware that here I couldn't use 8 pin. because the extra 2 pin don't fix),6. My question is it fine?

Did you jam a 6-pin PCIe connector in there?

NO!!!!

Does this thing even power up???

The polarity of a PCIe is opposite of a CPU power connector.

Did u jam the connector?
It physically wont fit as its made to prevent you from doing just that.
