ATX Compatibility

[phelps50]

My motherboard is the Maximus XI Hero . Its power connectors are the 24 pin EATXPWR, 8 PIN EATX12V_1, and the 4 pin EATX12V_2. The MOBO user guide says that it's recommended you use a PSU that complies with ATX 12V Specification 2.0 (or later version). My PSU is a EVGA 750 GQ, and it says on the box that it complies with ATX12V V2.32 and EPS12V V2.92 . Are these two compatible with each other?

So your mobo has 24pin,8pin, and 4 pin power connectors? The 24pin connector is for the motherboard to power ram etc. The 8 and 4pin are to deliver cpu power.

 

You wont need the 4pin power connector to cpu. 8pin is enough.

Yes it will support it just fine.

technically GQ would even meet 2.4 if i recall right

 

these two, as noted earlier work together, even if i personally would've chosen different parts, they're fine
