Hi I´m making a new Threaripper 1900x build evolving from my previous FX8350. My problem/ question is about my psu (planing to use my old one for the time being) wich is this one https://www.newegg.com/global/mx/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171105.
That PSU only has 1 EATX12V connector i read domewhere that i can use an adaptor but I would like to know wich of thsese 3 options I found would be better.
Also I dont plan to OC at least until I can get a better PSU. Any insight would be apreciated.
The possible adaptors i found.

Hi Chinchulin

Welcome to the ROG forum.

Out of the three choices I'd choose the second one but it's not necessary. One 8-pin cpu power cable is enough, you only need the second 8-pin cpu power cable for extreme overclocking.
