EVGA SR-3 DARK (160-CX-W999)

EPS 8-pin 12V Power (PWR
8P
)
EPS PWR 8P
, the 8-pin ATX 12V power connection(s), is used to provide
power to the CPU. Align the pins to the connector and press firmly until
seated. Additional EPS, if present, is optional for improved overclocking.
Please remember to make sure that the tab on the EPS socket is aligned with
the release clip on the cable.
NOTE: If the tab and release clip are on opposite sides, yet the power
connector fits, then you are using a PCIe 8-pin cable, which WILL damage the
board if powered on. Please review installation instructions from your power
supply manufacturer to verify which connectors may be used for the CPU
power.
IMPORTANT: The SR-3 DARK features four (4) 8pin EPS connectors.
EVGA strongly recommends to connect at least two (2) EPS connectors
to provide sufficient power to your CPU and motherboard, even for light
or low-load applications. Three or more EPS connectors from a power
supply or power supplies are suggested for extreme overclocking.
