- Connectors when using a power supply providing a 2x4 12v and a 2x12 power connector remove the protective covers from the 12v power connector and the main power connector on the motherboard do not insert the power supply cables into pins under the protective covers when using a power supply providing a 2x2 12v and a 2x10 power connector 22
- Hardware installation 22 22
- High power consumption be used 500w or greater if a power supply is used that does not provide the required power the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system 22
- Manufacturer when using an intel extreme edition cpu 130w 22
- The power connectors are compatible with power supplies with 2x2 12v and 2x10 power 22
- To meet expansion requirements it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand 22
- Use of a power supply providing a 2x4 12v power connector is recommended by the cpu 22
- With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the com ponentsonthemotherboard beforeconnectingthepowerconnector firstmakesurethepowersupply is turned off and all devices are properly installed the power connector possesses a foolproof design connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation the 12v power con nector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 22
