check this out on the MB user manual in the power section and then tell me

What's the proper PSU to connect to this MB?

20 pin? 24 pin? what's with that extra power connector? is it a psu that comes with that?

thanks a lot for sharing your $0.02

"ATXPWR1" -> all sli mobos come with 24 pin atx connectors. you can get a converter from 20-24 or 24-20 if you have the wrong one, looks ugly but it can be done. usually if it has a 24pin atx it will say "SLI ready"

"ATX12V1" -> this dual 12v connector also known as the "P4" connector comes standard on basically any psu.

"ATX4P1" -> this is just a generic molex daisy chain connection. i have seen some of these connectors on mobos before but never used one, my guess is it is as it says -> extra power for pci-e cards. i would plug it in just to be safe (mobo was prob just not designed very well
