I am planning to buy an asus H97 plus board.
It is written in the manual (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/H97-PLUS/E8977_H97-PLUS.pdf Page 28)
That this board connects to 24-pin EATXPWR and 8-pin EATX12V.
Does it mean ordinary ATX PSU connections?
Why there is E before this name? The board is just normal ATX size.
Will SeaSonic 750W 80+ Bronze M12II EVO fit this board?
 
Solution
Yes the seasonic will fit. It's just that a long time ago the motherboard power connector only had 20 pins and the cpu only had 4. As the power demands increased the atx spec was extended to 24 and 8 pins respectively. Any new power supply now should have the newer pin types.
