Q&A
Q: I see there are
more than four screw holes
on the back of the power supply, but the packaging only offers (4)
screws, are some missing?
Nothing is
missing; you will only need to attach the EVGA power supply to the case with four screws. The
A:
provide optimal compatibility
power supply offers more than (4) holes to
for today's varied case designs.
EPS cables
Q: My EVGA Power Supply includes (2)
for my motherboard, do I need to connect up both?
A: Motherboards
only require (1) 4+4 or 8-Pin EPS
connection. On some models, an additional 4+4-Pin or 8-Pin
connection on the motherboard may be found for
dual CPU
configurations or for
extreme
overclocking. If your
motherboard supports dual 4+4-Pin EPS connections, please refer to your
motherboard manufacturer's manual
for details on the proper function and power of the EPS connections.
ECO Thermal Control
System?
Q. What is 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
automatically turn back on
when
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
increase the life span
of the fan due to the fan not spinning
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.
power adapters
Q. What if I want to use
for my graphics card(s)/motherboard/peripherals?
A. EVGA always recommends the use of direct power connections from the power supply to power all components.
Q. Does it matter
which end of the cable
I plug into the power supply?
A: Yes, the connections going to the power supply will not have "break downs" like the EPS (CPU) has 4+4 on one
side and full 8-Pin on the other.
Check each cable
as it is labeled appropriately to match the power supply side,
and connect only the same
''matching"
cable directly to the power supply as referenced on each connector.
