Description

An 8-pin power supply connector typically refers to either the 8-pin EPS connector for a CPU or an 8-pin PCIe connector for a graphics card, and they are not interchangeable. The EPS connector is for the motherboard and provides up to 384W for modern CPUs, while the PCIe connector is for high-end GPUs and is designed to provide up to 150W per connector according to PCIe specifications. The key difference is that the EPS cable is designed to deliver up to 384W of power to the CPU, while the PCIe cable is designed for graphics cards and has a lower power capacity.

8-pin EPS power connector for the CPU

Function:

Provides dedicated power to the CPU socket, which is required for modern processors.
Power Delivery:

Can provide up to 384W of power, allowing for overclocking and stable performance in high-end systems.
Motherboard Support:

Modern motherboards usually have at least one 8-pin EPS connector, while high-end boards may have an additional 4-pin or 8-pin connector to supply more power for overclocking.
Connector:

This connector is polarized with a specific arrangement of square and rounded pins to ensure correct installation.

8-pin PCIe power connector for the GPU

Function:

Provides supplemental power to the graphics card, beyond what the PCIe slot provides.
Power Delivery:

The PCIe specification limits each 8-pin connector to 150W. High-end graphics cards often use multiple connectors to increase power consumption.
Connector:

This connector is designed specifically for graphics cards and is not interchangeable with the 8-pin EPS connector.
Distinction from PSU-side connector:

A common misconception is that an 8-pin connector can only provide 150W. However, the 8-pin connector on the power supply side can deliver more than 300W, while the 6+2 pin PCIe connector is the one limited to 150W by the PCIe specification.

Key differences to remember

Different functions: The 8-pin EPS is for the CPU, and the 8-pin PCIe is for the GPU.
Not interchangeable: Do not attempt to plug an 8-pin EPS connector into a PCIe slot, or vice versa, as this can cause damage.
Power delivery: The 8-pin EPS connector is designed to handle up to 384W, while the 8-pin PCIe connector is limited to 150W by the PCIe standard.
