Question Is this ATX PSU compatible with my motherboard ?

[vetteguy904]

Hi. I have the Z790 AORUS ELITE X WiFi7 motherboard..

Before I had decided on that board, I bought a Be Quiet Dark Power 13 PSU. the thing is, there are 2 extra 12v connectors for ATX. and this PSU does not have a connector for them.

for clarification, this is the connector in the manual

If anyone has installed this board I'd appreciate recommendations for a power supply

thanks

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

this power supply does not have a connector for it.
Thumbrule, if your PSU lacks the connections for your components, you either have;
a| The wrong PSU for the job
or
b| The wrong components for your build.

You should have access to at least 1 8pin EPS connector and if you do, hook up to the ATX12V_2x4_ 1 connector but your board is a Z790 and your processor would very likely be power hungry so you should be populating both EPS connectors on the top left hand corner.

Where are you located, what is your budget and what is your preferred site for purchase? Make and model of your case to alleviate any clearance issues...?
