[Meg Z790 Ace] PD_PWR1 - What Cable?

[dark1453158a02da]

I have just acquired a Z790 ace motherboard, however I want to plug everything in correctly.

Concerning the PD_PWR1 socket, which power cable must be connected to this one? PCIe?
I don't have another 6 pin cable coming out of my power supply.

It seems to be used for the 60w power supply of the front USB-C ports.

Thx by advance

Yes, on the Z790 ACE, the two Thunderbold USB-C ports on the rear can charge with 15W, and the front USB-C can even charge with up to 60W if you connect a PCIe power cable to the board:

There is no advantage connecting 6-pin PCIe power there if you don't plan on charging your phone/tablet/notebook over front USB-C on your PC.

Thanks,

So I have to find a 6-pin PCI cable to add to my power supply (Modular)

I just wanted to be sure that a PCI-E cable from the power supply would suffice or if it was another type of cable that I hadn't heard of or seen

I didn't specifically plan to plug in a device requiring 60W, but who knows what the future holds

my front port charges 60W but no data whatsoever unless the cable is rotated. Go figure... and it doesn't work with all devices.
My Fold 3 only charges but no data....
