Hi guys,
Does anyone know how many power pins are required to the mobo for the i7 9700k?
My Mobo: Aorus z390 pro (non wifi) comes with 1 X 4 pin (12V) and 1 X 8 pin (12V) 12 pins total
It came as a prebuilt but i've just noticed after all this time that all 12 pins are connected to my power supply - is this overkill? I would have thought the 8 pin would be enough but im abit clueless when it comes to computers!
I dont want to unplug any power connectors for fear of bricking my system.
Edit: I only ask as im in the process of replacing the rear case fan however the 4 pin fan connector is very VERY fiddly and hard to get at with all 12 power pins connected just above it.
