Dual Socket A CPU's powered by a shared 5V rail on the 20 pin ATX Connector. What could go wrong? It can become well browned and crispy over time, you will need a psu with a strong 5v rail and good quality atx connector if you want to prevent this!

Recommended to modify board to 12V EPS Vcore power.
