Connect Corsair RM750i PSU to Gigabyte X99 UD4

I'm looking for some advice on how to correctly connect a Corsair RM750i PSU to the Gigabyte X99 UD4 Motherboard for overclocking.

Reading through the Gigabyte UD4 manual it states -

" When you overclock the CPU, make sure to connect one end of the included 1 to 3 power cable to the ATX_12V_2X4 power connector and the other three to the power supply to ensure the system is provided with enough power."

What I don't understand is where do the 3 end cables from motherboard go to the PSU?

You shouldn't need to use that cable anyway. Just plug your power supply 8 pin cable straight into the board.

Hi thanks for your advice,

I'm planning on overclocking an intel i7 5820k CPU to about 4.3ghz, should this still be ok with the Gigabyte motherboard?

Many Thanks,

Yes you should be fine as long as you have a good cpu cooler.

Ok thanks, I plan to get this air cooler with perhaps a second fan installed in a Fractal Define R5 Case
Noctua NH-D15S 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler

The D15S is a good cooler so you should be fine.
