Do I need to use both 8pin power sources?

I'm using a Biostar TP67XE that has 2 8 pin sockets but my PSU only has 4+4 connector. The manual says when overclocked I should use both and I have my 2500K at 4Ghz but struggling to get it stable above that.

you don't need both generally.

No one is fine. I bench crazy volts with only one connector in pretty often.

I normally turn off all power saving except the thermal throttling and take off turbo mode, I found I was stable easier with only using the main multiplyer.
