help with mother board

[benyboy]

hi looking for some info about my motherboard firstly im like few on here finding my feet in the pc building world so im going to ask what there seems to be little info on the net and what there is ....many disagree and many agree its the PD_12V_PWR SOCKET on my rog maximus z690 extreme motherboard in the manual it states that it gives additional power to the PCie slots to support 60W rather than the 27W i have a 3090 GPU will it benafit from the 60W boost or is 27W all it needs under load....also the configuration of the wireing and the socket dont match that of the 6 pin PCie connector of my power supply that is a thermaltake toughpower TF1 1550w power supply best i can exsplain it is the wireing colours on the PCie power supply connector dont match the wireing diagram in chapter 1 page seven of that manual looking at the lay out shape of pins.... the long and short of it the pcie 6 pin connector does not match that of the female connector on the mother board also i have a bit of a problem trying to get my memory to run at full speed i have 64gb of corsair dominator DDR5 6200MHZ 4 sticks.....and a intel core i9 13900k cpu ..up to date bios i can get the memory to run at 5600mhz at XMP1 more that that i have problems with booting pc it locks up any ideas

in the manual it states that it gives additional power to the PCie slots to support 60W rather than the 27W i have a 3090 GPU will it benafit from the 60W boost or is 27W all it needs under load

Hmm, if you use GPU-Z I think it can tell you how much power the card is drawing from the slot, or the power connectors. It may just be compensating by drawing more from elsewhere. Usually these kind of auxiliary power plugs provide power to the secondary full length slots, not the primary slot.

also the configuration of the wireing and the socket dont match that of the 6 pin PCie connector of my power supply that is a thermaltake toughpower TF1 1550w power supply best i can exsplain it is the wireing colours on the PCie power supply connector dont match the wireing diagram in chapter 1 page seven of that manual looking at the lay out shape of pins.... the long and short of it the pcie 6 pin connector does not match that of the female connector on the mother board

I don't think there are any other 6 pin connectors on a power supply, unless you're looking at the PSU-end of a cable rather than the device-end? Most modern PSUs have the 6 pin split off from a PCIE 8 pin, so that might be why you can't find them?

also i have a bit of a problem trying to get my memory to run at full speed i have 64gb of corsair dominator DDR5 6200MHZ 4 sticks.....and a intel core i9 13900k cpu ..up to date bios i can get the memory to run at 5600mhz at XMP1 more that that i have problems with booting pc it locks up any ideas

4 sticks tends to be harder to run than 2 sticks, you might need to tweak some other settings / voltages to manage this.
