Frequently asked questions

Does this cable work in an Elite 8300?
No, the Elite series uses a different pinout — use the Elite 8100/8200/8300 version.

What ATX PSU wattage do I need?
A Z230 SFF without dGPU is happy with 250-300W. With a workstation GPU, plan 400-450W.

Do I have to connect both 6-pin headers?
Yes — the large and small 6-pin must both be plugged in or the board won't boot.
