So the Asus Maximus V Formula has an 8 Pin and a 4 Pin (Optional) EPS Power connector on the top of the board.
What Power Supply would would have the options for this?
I was looking at the Corsair TX750M but I'm not sure what if it will support the 4 Pin EPS power?

Not sure if you are aware - or I am reading you correctly, but I think you will find it is an either /or option - not both connected at once. Most PSU should be able to support the connection afaik.

Hope this helps

Well I all ways though that you had to plug in the 8-Pin but you could also plug in the 4-Pin and have both at once.

Having looked at the manual which is not terribly helpful with answering this question. It would appear you are correct - you can use both connections at once. I imagine this is to provide more power if you are running several graphics cards, and perhaps overclocking as well. As for your choice of power supply - it should be fine and have the extra lead for the extra connection according to specs and Asus manual.

Sorry I cannot be more helpful
