I was going to ask how people manage to use that much power with SLI being dead, but right... it's probably still for multi-GPU but instead in the AI realm.
what is another 2-pin connector for?
Edit: ah , the little 2 pin , got confused :)
Edit: this guess turned out to be incorrect, but was based on what others (ASUS) were doing and a fairly common power supply technique in other industries/applications.
Some temperature protection sensor I think.
Edit: yes.
phantom line & Taichi - FSP
That two will be used in the 99.9% of the cases.
But the way the whole ATX3.1/PCiE5.1 thing has been dealt with is just insane. I want one now, and only a handful are on the market, and they are often just an updated model sold on the same SKU, which is leading to massive confusion on most online shops still having ATX3.0 versions of the same PSU on their sites and in inventory.
