its tricky for PSUs from a particular but big OEM where its pcies are a different rail from the ATX and protects if they are in connection. Unless the atx 12v is not routed and then you will need to plug in an extra pcie con and its not optional anymore. molexes may be more compatibile, makes the board look old though
