how to connect EPS (cpu) cables to Asus Maximus xi hero mobo

[hucharles5]

so the Asus Maximum XI Hero wifi mobo has an 8 pin (4 + 4) socket and an extra 4 pin socket for its cpu. Do i use an 8 pin (4 + 4) connector for the first 8 pin socket, and another 8 pin (4 + 4) connector but only plug in one of the 4 pin connector into the 4 pin socket on the mobo and leave the extra 4 pin connector out? I can't find a single 4 pin cpu connector

here is the spec sheet, scroll down to internal i/o ports it says
1 x 8-pin EATX 12V Power connectors
1 x 4-pin ATX 12V Power connector(s)

Yes, exactly.

Yes, exactly.

are you exactly sure? Because EATX 12V and ATX 12V sounds different to me

eatx/atx is mainboard size
what u mean is EPS12V it comes as 4pin or 4+4pin

so you are saying those two are the same thing and I can just use the 2 4+4 pin cables from my EVGA g3 850w for them?

ya use 4pins from your second 8pin cable

there is only 4+4s so leave a 4 pin out for the 4 pin socket?

one of them will perfectly fit

and what about the other? Do I leave out a 4 pin or not?

if your mainboard doesnt need it, then leave it out
