power supply at the bottom of the case and there are no ventilation
holes available, it may be best to install the power supply with the
fan facing up for greater efficiency and reliability.
4. Connect the 24-Pin ATX cable to the PSU and the motherboard.
5. Connect the 4+4-Pin EPS12V cable to the motherboard.
(Optional) – If you plan on extreme overclocking
motherboard supports additional 8-Pin or 4-Pin CPU power
connectors, connect the second 4+4-Pin EPS12V cable. This is
only needed for heavy overclocking or for Dual CPU motherboards.
6. Connect the 6/6+2-Pin PCI-E cables to your graphics card(s).
NOTE: Do not attempt to plug an 8-Pin PCI-E cable into a 6-Pin
connector without first detaching the two extra pins.
7. Connect SATA power cables to all data drives or optical drives
(hard drives, solid state drives, optical drives).
8. Connect the peripheral "Molex" 4-Pin connectors for fans, pumps,
legacy components and other devices/adapters.
9. Connect the AC power cord to your power supply and to the wall.
Check all connections to assure a solid connection and turn the

A. The ECO Thermal Control System, when enabled, allows the fan on your EVGA power supply to shut off
during low to moderate operation loads. The EVGA power supply's fan will
needed, based on the temperature the power supply reaches. The fan will also increase in RPM when needed,
based on the load operation being requested from the components connected. This prevents unnecessary
rotation, reduces ambient noise levels and will
when not required.
Please Note: If the ECO Thermal Control is disabled the fan will always spin, even at low loads. The fan will also
increase in RPM as needed automatically, based on the power draw from connected components.
