April 30, 201214 yr The manual of the X9SCM motherboard states that it needs a SSI-compliant PSU. What exactly makes a PSU SSI-compliant? Specs, number of 12V motherboard connectors? Can someone explain?

May 1, 201214 yr Author Thanks John, Didn't know about these PSU standards, rather confusing. Still Corsair causes confusion too. Are the CX-series EPS12V compliant? Newegg says no, but when I read the manual of the CX-series it says: The EPS12V power connector has a detachable 4-pin mechanism in order to support either an 8-pin socket or a 4-pin “P4/12V” socket on the motherboard. and Connect the 8-pin +12V (EPS12V) cable. a. If your motherboard has an 8-pin +12V socket, connect the 8-pin cable directly to your motherboard. b. If your motherboard has a 4-pin socket, detach the 4-pin from the 8-pin cable, and then plug this 4-pin cable directly to your motherboard. Confusing.
