Hi all, I'm having some trouble with the Silverstone 800. I'm planning on running SLI on an MATX motherboard and I seem to be one connector short. The MSI motherboard has an additional 6 pin power requirement in addition to the usual 24 pin & 8 pin sockets.



The (1 x 8 / 4-Pin EPS / ATX 12V connector(400mm) ) doesn't seem powerful enough to power the 8 pin & 6 pin connectors the motherboard requires.  I previously used it to power an 8 pin on a test build motherboard and it worked fine. I'm thinking I may have to switch out motherboards to the EVGA X299 micro (the only other X299 MATX available) because it only has one 8 pin connector.


Does anybody know of a different workaround other than replacing the motherboard? I originally wanted the EVGA but the MSI came out first so I snagged it, it wouldn't be the end of the world to switch. I like EVGA better anyways.


Thanks in advance for any help provided.
