Jpwr2 for overclocking?
Jpwr2 for overclocking?
Haven't built for a long time but just finishing up my first water cooling loop and getting ready to get down to the PC itself finally. I see there is a jpwr2 attachment and wondering if that is for overclocking. Seems in addition to the power cable I am used to.
I do plan some basic auto overclocking for the first time but it is in a terribly hard spot to reach.
Thanks for any info.

it requires intense overclocking if it's similar to my motherboard—specifically a 4-pin CPU socket instead of the usual 8-pin one. I didn't even connect mine, and there were no problems with the 6600k at 4.7ghz. You can also find boards that include this extra socket for compatibility with multiple graphics cards to boost performance.
Okay so I have two really old gpu's in SLI until I hear something about the 1080ti. After that I'll like have a single 1080ti. I plan to use xmp profiles, which I understand is mild overclocking and then possibly the amp auto settings on my motherboard if there is still some safe room on the CPU. Nothing extreme planned
Probably don't need to even use it then?
I didn't use mine without any problems, but this motherboard has a world record for overclocks, so it's likely they used it when they did those upgrades. XMP is specifically for memory. Some boards include auto CPU overclocking—just keep an eye on them since they can be too aggressive with voltage. The 1080 Ti should perform well, and it’s a solid choice at a good price. It really depends on what you need from the GPU. I’ve got a heavily overclocked GTX1070 that works well for 1440p, and for 4K it would be a strong match too.
