Hi guys,

My motherboard has an extra four-pin PSU connector (so it has 8+4) which I am not using as I thought that the extra connector would be good if running multiple GPUs which I am not.

Am I right using only the 8 pin connector and leaving the other 4 unused? I have an RTX3070 and I don't manually overclock the processor (only the memory).

Many thanks,

L

The 8 pin and 4 pin connectors on the board are for the cpu power. You only need to plug the 8 pin in. The gpu gets it's power from the psu/pcie slot.
