Hey guys, I have a SATA 3 SSD....and cannot really find info on which SATA 3 port I should use, or if I should use the SATA express ports. Anyone got info on this?

Another side question, I have a 1300W EVGA G2 PSU, for the 6 pin connector near the PCI-Ex16 slots would I use a PCI-E 6pin to power that?

I have read the manual....that is why I said I could not really find any info on which to use. The manual is pretty vague on which port runs to the intel chipset. By vague, I mean it does not mention it at all.

all the sata ports are from the intel chipset . Use any of them you like , but using port 0 [ the first one ] for the boot drive may simplify some elements of set up

Yes the 6 pin PEG OC socket by the first pci-e x 16 slot is for a pci-e 6 pin . Probably its not needed unless you have multiple graphics cards .

Nice looking board
