First build in years, likely dumb question...

[mcgibbon85]

Hi, I've built my first rig in a looooong time and came across a mother board port I'm not familiar with. Im using an Asus maximus viii extreme motherboard, 6700k i7, corsair h100i, 16gb 2666mhz corsair dominator platinum and 2 titan X graphics cards. So I'm wondering if I need to use the ez-plug port on the bottom of the motherboard. The PC runs fine, no crashes but I am wondering if the graphics cards are getting enough power. Itd be a bit of a pain to use the port because I'm using a PHANTEKS evolv case which just about fits an eatx mother board but leaves no space between the PSU shroud and eatx port. Any help appreciated.

The EZ-Plug provides extra juice for multi GPU setups, usually four. If your system is running fine without it connected then leave it.
