<p dir="ltr">Yes. Connect them both. There will be a socket for both connectors. From personal experience I can tell you that it will not work unless both sockets are plugged in. It took me a couple of trips to MC to figure this out.</p>

The instructions in my Gigabit motherboard manual say,<br />
<br />
ATX_12v_2X4/ATX (2X4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector<br />
<br />
"With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply<br />
enough stable power to all components of the motherboard. Before<br />
connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is<br />
turned on and all devices are properly installed. The power connector<br />
possesses a foolproof design [obviously they didn't design it for<br />
me!]. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the<br />
correct orientation.<br />
<br />
"The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the a<br />
12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start."<br />
<br />
WTF does THAT mean? Am I supposed to connect both the 2x4 and the 2x12<br />
power connectors or not? And if not, then which one?<br />
