Hello,
I'm looking into the new rizen boards and I noticed on the ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero there is both p4(4pin) and eps(8pin) cpu power ports. One could assume that both need power.

Personally I haven't used a mobo that required both. After looking at psu's for a while I am not sure how to find a suitable match.

Anyone else had this issue and know of a good choice?

Thanks

After talking to Asus several times, I finally got an answer from them.

The "4pin" cpu power is only used if your going to overclock. Provides extra power to the cpu to keep voltages constant. Otherwise you only need the "8pin" for normal use.

Hopefully if anyone else is trying to figure this out this will help them.
