Hi to all.
At current time I am using a HX850 Psu Corsair. I did get extra 4x2 Psu power plugs. I am using the 2x4 cpu connector or eax on the board. I wanted to use the extra 4 pin, but when plugged in it gave strange results with video, using 3 displays? Does anyone else out there use all 3 of the eax connectors on a crosshair V mobo.
Thanks in advance.

I use all 3 power plugs on the board.
The 2 EATX12v plugs on the top help give an even power distribution through the board when overclocking but only one is needed(From what I have read from others).
The other power plug in rear middle of board above PCIe slots are for the PCIe slots and it does need a 4 pin molex plugged into it when using multiple graphic card is how it is stated in the manual.
