Hey everyone! I'm putting together a new PC with an RTX 5070 and I just bought a Corsair RM850x PSU. I found out that this PSU doesn't provide a -12V power supply. The warning on the product page mentions that the MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS motherboard might have requirements related to that, but I'm not sure what it means. I'm pretty new to building PCs, and I'm wondering if this is a big deal or if I should consider returning the power supply. Anyone have insights?

Don't stress too much about it! Most modern PSUs use standard connectors, and the -12V line is mostly a relic from the past. Just make sure you’re using the right cables that come with your new PSU when you set everything up. Should be fine!
Thanks! I was confused about the ATX 24 pin fitting, but I get it now.
