How do you get 2 EPS12V on the Seasonic X-750W?

[Fatfool]

So, if you look at the Seasonic X-750W, you'll see this




And the manual states that is has 2 EPS12V connectors

Readily, you'll see that there is an 8 pin socket right there for one of them but where do you connect the second cable to?

Reason's because I intend to use the
Supermicro H8DCL-iF

Well, they say (1) 4 pin and (2) 8pin.

looks like the first top row is marked PCIE/ CPU 8 pin.

Thats your 2x 8 pin.

Then, the 4 pin/ 8 pin beside beside it.

So...plenty of MB connectors, but will cut into the number of PCIE connectors you will have remaining afterwards...right?

Goodness! so one PCI-E will have to be sacrificed for the other 8 pin EPS12V. Damn it. That was close, Seasonic said that it would work even if I used a Radeon 5870 (2 x 6 pin PCI-E)

I thought each 12 pin cable had 2 PCIE connectors?

OH yes it does! I feel so stupid right now.

Those 12 pins actually support 2 x 8 pin PCI-Es

As far as I remember, reviews stated that those connectors are interchangeable for PCI-E/EPS12V cables. So you cannot run 4x PCI-E and 2x EPS12V at the same time. But 2x EPS12V and 2x PCI-E should be doable.

I see. Thanks!
