What is EPS 12V connector?

What is EPS 12V connector?

8PIN ATX 12V. Connects to the motherboard EPS 12V socket. Provides additional power to the CPU. 4+4 Pin ATX/EPS. A hybrid of the 4 PIN ATX12V and EPS 12V connectors that can be split in half or combined to accommodate either the EPS 12V Socket or the ATX 12V socket.

Is EPS a CPU cable?

The EPS connector is meant to supply power to a motherboard cpu socket while the PCI express connector is meant to supply power to a GPU.

What is EPS plug?

Entry-Level Power Supply Specification (EPS) is a power supply unit meant for high-power-consumption computers and entry-level servers. EPS power supplies have a 24-pin motherboard power connector and an eight-pin +12 V connector.

Can you use CPU cable for PCIE?

No! Don’t do it! You will destroy the motherboard and PSU if you plug a 6+2 PCI-e connector into the 8 pin CPU power connector! The PCI-e connector has 3 12V lines and 5 ground lines, the CPU power connector has 4 12V, and 4 ground, you will have a direct short between 12V and ground if you do that.

Can I use EPS cable for GPU?

The female end plugs into whatever CPU/EPS12V cable comes with your power supply. It adapts the pinout of a spare 8-pin CPU power cable (EPS 12V) to that which can be used to power a GPU.

What is the 4 pin 12V connector for?

The ATX 4-pin power supply connector is a standard motherboard power connector used to provide +12 VDC to the processor voltage regulator.

Do you need 8 pin for CPU?

Your chosen PSU does not have an 8 pin connector and it is not essential but it would take some load off of the single 4-pin.

Where do I connect the CPU cable?

Someone Somewhere That goes by your CPU, at the top of the board. A 6-pin, likely a 6-pin and a 2-pin that snap together, marked PCIe or PCI, plugs into your GPU. Leave the extra two pins hanging loose. The big cable, probably 20+4 pins that snap together, plug into the big socket on the side of the board.

What happens if you plug CPU cable into GPU?

Essentially this means your graphics card will never have seen any damaging voltages from having the polarity reversed on one of its connectors. So in theory the card should be absolutely fine.

What is the power limit for one 8 pin EPs connector?

Main Boards with an 8 pin EPS12V CPU power receptacle can supply 235 continuous watts

Where does the EPS 12V connector go on a motherboard?

Connects to the motherboard EPS 12V socket. Provides additional power to the CPU. Can be used to connect to a six or eight pin socket on a video card to provide additional 12v power.

What is the 4 pin ATX / EPs connector for?

4+4 Pin ATX/EPS. A hybrid of the 4 PIN ATX12V and EPS 12V connectors that can be split in half or combined to accommodate either the EPS 12V Socket or the ATX 12V socket.

When to plug in additional EPs / CPU connectors?

If your cpu is pulling more than that, then you should plug in the additional connector. It isn’t difficult to pull that type of power with these cpus, so you’d be best advised to invest in a good psu. I did a simple overclock to 4.4ghz and everything was stable and smooth as hell. Does the overclock remain stable under stress? Maybe some Prime95?

What is EPS 12V connector? 8PIN ATX 12V. Connects to the motherboard EPS 12V socket. Provides additional power to the CPU. 4+4 Pin ATX/EPS. A hybrid of the 4 PIN ATX12V and EPS 12V connectors that can be split in half or combined to accommodate either the EPS 12V Socket or the ATX 12V socket.…
