EPS12V or ATX12V with EATX12V?

Brand new ASUS P8Z77-V LX motherboard with 8-pin EATX12V socket.

Antec TruePower 750w PSU with both 8-pin EPS12V and 4-pin ATX12V plugs.

Both plugs will correctly seat in the EATX12v socket (the 4-pin plug at the righthand end of the EATX socket if the latch is uppermost), but which should I use, please?

Information on the web doesn't always tally with what the ASUS and Antec user manuals imply. My guess is that "E" in EATX12V stands for "extended" or "expanded", so I should use the 4-pin ATX12V plug and ignore the redundant pins at one end of the EATX12V socket.

Correct?


TVM,
