ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[naokaji]

so is it 4 pins or 8 pins for the CPU?

either, you can use 4 or 8 pin connector, the cap over 4 of them is so you dont plug a 4 pin connector in the wrong half (even though its not really necessary because it wont fit in the wrong half without force).

OIC I asked that cause that's how I burned my old motherboard but a little different story. Any way thanks.
