PCIe card Power Requirements
Power consumption is crucial for all CPUs and GPUs and other High-End Power Hungry PCIe cards. GPUs
consume a great deal of power. As the processing power of graphic cards has increased, so has their
demand for electrical power. Due to the limitations of the card slot PCI-Express connector that only
supplies 75 Watts of power, present GPU cards with power consumption of over 75 Watts now includes a
combination of six-pin (75 W) and or eight-pin (150 W) connectors. If these are not available, you can use
the internal AUX power connectors in the expansion unit (see picture below).
There are 18 (6+2 pin) PCIe AUX power connectors available in the expansion unit for providing extra
power to PCIe cards / GPUs.
For example, when using a GPU card that has a maximum power consumption of 225W you would need to use two
six-pin power connectors.
Number of Pins Watt
6 pin connector provides 75 Watts
8 pin connector provides 150 Watts
Magma EB3600-AB uses a 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors. It can be used as 6-pin or 8-pin connector depending on
what the PCI-E card or GPU required.
