ATX12V / EPS12V - i7 930

[M9A2]

Hi!

I have just bought some new hardware:
Intel Core™ i7 Quad Processor i7-930, Quad Core, 2.8Ghz, Socket 1366, 8MB, 130W, Boxed w/fan
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, X58, Socket-1366, DDR3, ATX, USB3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, 2xPCI-Ex(2.0)x16, Revision 2.0
CORSAIR TX 750W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V

But I have come up with a problem:
I simply can’t find out if my PSU, motherboard and CPU is compatible and therefore my build have come to a tragic stop.

Full motherboard - http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/5614/39748157.jpg

Q1: My motherboard says it needs ATX_12V_2X (8-pin) to power the CPU, what is that?
Q2: Are ATX12V / EPS12V PSUs supported/ compatible with ATX_12V_2X motherboards?
Q3: Will my PSU work just fine on this ATX_12V_2X motherboard (Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R) or do I have to look for another PSU with an ATX12V 8-pin CPUpower cable?
Q4: EPS12V = 2x4-pin ATX12V CPUpower?

I’m asking for your expertise.
Thanks in advance

Q1: My motherboard says it needs ATX_12V_2X (8-pin) to power the CPU, what is that?

It's a supplimentary motherboard power connection.

Q2: Are ATX12V / EPS12V PSUs supported/ compatible with ATX_12V_2X motherboards?

Yes

Q3: Will my PSU work just fine on this ATX_12V_2X motherboard (Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R) or do I have to look for another PSU with an ATX12V 8-pin CPUpower cable?

The PSU will work with the motherboard.

Q4: EPS12V = 2x4-pin ATX12V CPUpower?

FWIW here.

I can guarantee that the CPU will fit and work with the motherboard and the PSU will provide all the power connection you will need.

Period.

Nice build by the way.

You don't need another PSU. The PSU you have provides all the power connections you need and more!

Simply pop in the 8 pin ATX power connector and the 24 pin ATX connector and your done.

Start the build and enjoy the machine.

With ''Simply pop in the 8 pin ATX power connector'', do you mean the EPS12V (8-pin), that's all I would love to know?
