ASUS P5Q Turbo 2-35
Chapter 2
• For a fully congured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit
(PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specication 2.0 (or later version) and provides a
minimum power of 400 W.
• Do not forget to connect the 8-pin EATX +12 V power plug. Otherwise, the system will
not boot.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when conguring a
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or
may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
• If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,
refer to the
Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator
