ASUS P5B Deluxe & EATX12V Disregard, found my answer in the ASUS forum!
Okay, so this is my first complete build. As the subject line indicates, I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe. I also have an OCZ Gamexstream 700W PSU.
The directions in the ASUS manual indicate if the PSU has an 8-pin EPS +12V plug I should remove the cap over the second 4-pins on the MB connector. Well, the PSU has two 4-pin ATX12V plugs, one labeled CPU1 and the other CPU2.
Here's exactly what it says:
========================================================
Make sure to remove the cap on the EATX12V connector before connecting an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug
Use only either a 4-pin ATX12V or an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug for the EATX12V connector.
========================================================
The only thing the OCZ documentation says is:
====================================================
4+4 pin: accords with the requirements of CPU in ATX or EPS systems
====================================================
So here's my question: Do I remove the cap and connect both 4-pin
ATX12V plugs? My gut tells me to remove the cap and plug them both in.

Please diregard this post. I found the answer in the ASUS Intel forum. Doh, I should have searched first!
