EPS12V 8-pin CPU Power Harness
CPU auxiliary power connector/cable family. This entry records a distinct product or well-defined family; differences among revisions and similarly named models are called out below.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: Match the full model/part number, revision, and region to the item label and its manufacturer documentation. Where a family has multiple revisions, specifications below are not universal across the family.
Recorded specifications
| Cataloged part | EPS12V 8-pin CPU Power Harness |
|---|---|
| Era / family | CPU auxiliary power connector/cable family |
| Key specifications | 8-pin 4+4 EPS12V harness supplies +12 V and ground to motherboard CPU VRM; distinct from 6+2 PCIe GPU lead. |
| Interface / fit | Connect only to CPU/EPS board header and PSU’s CPU/EPS output; do not substitute PCIe cable based on fit. |
| Variants / identification | Pinout is not the same as PCIe 8-pin despite related shell dimensions; check PSU cable labels. |
| Archive record | Record full part number, hardware revision, serial/date code, firmware/BIOS, accessories, physical condition, and the documentation revision used for verification. |
Compatibility and handling
- Confirm the complete part number, connector signal/pinout, supported host, dimensions, power, firmware and operating-system requirements before use.
- Inspect for corrosion, cracked parts, bent pins, damaged insulation, failing bearings, leaking cells, or prior repair. Avoid powering unidentified or damaged hardware.
- For compatibility claims, cite a specific manual, CPU support list, interface standard, or tested host configuration; physical fit alone is insufficient.
- Record measurements with the test setup and instrument conditions; distinguish vendor maximums from measured or sustained results.
Model notes
Connect only to CPU/EPS board header and PSU’s CPU/EPS output; do not substitute PCIe cable based on fit.
Pinout is not the same as PCIe 8-pin despite related shell dimensions; check PSU cable labels.
