5. Power connectors
These Power connectors allow you to connect your motherboard to a power supply.
The power supply plugs are designed to fit in only one orientation, find the proper
orientation and push down firmly until the power supply plugs are fully inserted.
Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug, or connect both the 8-pin and 4-pin power plugs.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output when configuring a
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or
may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
• If you want to use two or more high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with
1000W power or above to ensure the system stability.
The PD_12V_PWR connector provides additional power for your PCIe X16 slots and
also provides power for PD3.0 support for the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C
