As per title, I got the Asus Strix B650-E Gaming Wi-Fi & the Phantex Revolt SFX 850W. Is it ok to just use one of the two connectors or should I change the psu? Funny thing is the 750w version has two but it doesn’t seem to an atx 3.0 psu as it doesn’t have the new pci-e connector
Motherboard has 2x 8-pin cpu power connectors but psu only has one

The manual will normally have this info.
Just looked - it doesn't mention running with one, I wouldn't risk it personally.

Yeah it's oddly worded but I wouldn't risk it.
It’s the 7800X3D
It’s been over 14 days since I received the psu from ocuk so not sure if they’ll exchange it

Yeah that's pretty poorly worded. "Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plugs or both 8-pin power plugs".
If there's a reason to only connect one over two then it should clearly be stated in the manual.
I'd give Asus support a nudge and say that snippet in the manual isn't very clear.

Be fine with one cable but you can always give Overclockers a call they may be accomadating.
Not sure I’m going to overclock but if I do will the one connector be enough or will I need two for that?

Think you will be fine as the power draw is no where near the intel CPUs, take a look at this and skip down to power. Best to look into the overclocking power draw further.

You cant overclock it anyway, a 7800X3D is multiplier locked.
My manual for my X670E Gene says the same thing, so I wouldnt over think it, im sure 1 is fine, just looks like a typo to me, if you flip through the manual you'll get to the basic installation section which says this:

Is it? Well I guess that’s one less thing I need to worry about, I’ve seen that page as well.You cant overclock it anyway, a 7800X3D is multiplier locked.

ATX_12V_1 You only need to plug in the 4x4/8pin CPU Connector from PSU.
2nd ATX_12V_2 for OC using a high end CPU & using Liquid H, Just a marketing thing.
Don't even attempt to OC that 7800X3D
they Burn up & might even take the motherboard with it.

As said, it should be fine with one 8Pin ATX12V/EPS connector plugged in. I am pretty sure all A620 boards, for instance, only have 1 connector but support 7950X. How well it runs it may be another conversation, it may not run with the highest boost frequencies or clocks.
Actually thinking about it, doesn't the 7800X3D only pull 88w under load even though its a 120w Part?
