Zenith II Extreme Alpha EATX12V connectors
Hello all,
One qustion...which cable should I use to connect the EATX12V_3 6-pin connector ?
Will an 8-pin EPS plug fit, leaving out the last two pins ?
It look like there is only 8-pin or 4-pin EPS type of plugs...
Thanks

I got a custom cable from CableMod since my PSU did not have an EPS 6 pin cable in the box.

It's a 6 pin PCIe cable...i.e. 6 pin GPU connector

Thank you very much.
So a common 6-pin PCIe cable then.
Thanks.

Just want to share an experience I had with this connector. I had an extra cable from a Cablemod kit that had a 6-pin to the PSU and a 6-pin out, which fit perfectly in the SATA power on the PSU and somehow also fit like a glove into this 6-PIN CPU power port on the motherboard. The PIN-OUT voltages actually fried my motherboard instantly. The board lit up for a fraction of a second, and refused to boot ... it was too late. 1100$ (CAD mind you) in the garbage.

Use a 6-PIN PCI-E power cable and connector, the same you would use for your GPU or CPU power. If you don't have a 6-PIN, an 8-PIN actually fits there with 2 pins hanging out. But at least it is the proper cable and pin-out.
Also avoid ketchup & mustard colored adapters and such ... too much of a risk of wrong pin-outs.
Different PSU's have different pinouts, and cables often are NOT the same - i.e.: Thermaltake 1250W cables fit Seasonic 1000W PSU, but will fry your devices & potentially your PSU. Don't fry anything else, when you replace or upgrade a PSU, double check the cable compatibility online or by default DON'T trust you old cables, replace them with the included ones. Just sharing another experience that was costly.
Cheers.
