Aurora R8, PSU atx and cpu cable

Yes, ATX_CPU uses the same connector type as the GPU_PWR.   

I don’t want to mess things up. 

you are saying use one cpu cable for the GPU??

and use all 8 pins? I thought there was a hanging pin on the GPU since it only takes 4???

and the atx will take its own cpu cable correct? Only 4 pins and the other 4 hanging out 

I can’t really see.

I’m just wondering do I use the two cpu cables for the GPU and ATX?

If you click on the photos they go full screen. 

Yes, use the CPU cable for the GPU power. 

1.  You can plug either just 4 PINs (1 left hanging) or all 8PINs into GPU_PWR.  If only 4, then plug them on the left like in the factory position.  After upgrading my GPU, I plugged all 8 PINs in (4+4) to distribute the heat more evenly.   Either way will work.  I've run it both ways in my PC (4 with a 1080 and 8 with a titan). 

2. Yes, one CPU 4 PIN to ATX_CPU, the second 4PIN can hang out unused. 

And the other CPU cable for the ATX?

I only have the RTX 2060 can I use the 8 pins on the GPU?

Like this, but you can plug both 4 pin cpu cables in there.  

four screws on bottom fan here

**bleep** I’m confused.

the new motherboard gpu cable cable is not a 4 pin. It’s a 10 pin

do I use the new 2 CPU cables for the atx and cpu?

they are two CPU type 4 (4+4) 

The extra pins to the gpu header won't hurt anything.  Just spreads out the load.  Gpu will pull what it needs.

So that would be one cable to ATX_CPU, and one cable to GPU_PWR.  If the cables end in a Y, plug both 4 pin connectors into the GPU_PWR, and 1 into CPU_PWR, so that there will be a spare at the end and you can just point that away.  

I left my ATX_CPU cable with the spare 4 pin hanging off to the side:

What Ram is that in your Aurora?

I’d like to upgrade the ram soon, not sure what to get.

is all 2666 ram compatible?
