EPS 8Pin Connector

[Helltech]

My friends power supply has an ATX 4Pin connector, and an EPS 8Pin Connector.

His motherboard allows for the 4pin, and an 8pin cable on the motherboard. Is that what the 8Pin EPS cable is for? Or is that for something else?

Probably, some motherboards have a "plug" covering 4 of the eight holes in case the PSU has only a 4-pin connector. What is the make and model of the motherboard? The PSU?

Yes the EPS connector is for the 8 pin http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html

Ok yeah, its a ASUS p7p55 delux, It said to use a 8pin eatx cable, wasn't sure that was the same as 8pin eps, its working though. Thanks.
