Asus Rampage III Extreme - Manual (Page 76)

14. ATX power connectors
(24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V_1/2, 4-pin EZ_PLUG_1/2)
These connectors are for ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs
are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper
orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit.
• For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply
unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version)
and provides a minimum power of 600 W.
• Do not forget to connect the 8-pin EATX12V power plugs; otherwise, the
system will not boot.
• Connect the 4-pin EZ_PLUG_1 and EZ_PLUG_2 power plugs to ensure
sufficient power supply when you install multiple graphics cards.
• Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when
configuring a system with more power-consuming devices. The system
may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate. Refer
to the Appendix for the certified 500W power supply or above.
• If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your
system, refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator
