@Joxeon just been looking at some of the reviews for this each one says OVERKILL which in most cases is never a bad thing.
I have both of these in my overclockers cart & I still can't decide lol

Not read the tomahawk reviews yet but
Guessing overkill refers to the power delivery /vrms
All the stuff leading up to its release means joxeon is most likely to be right
The B450 tomahawk was the recommended cheap board to go for so assuming the x570 is also
Hi guys

this is what I came up with just doing a bit of digging think it's 99%
Main power is 1x - 24pin
CPU is - looking at the motherboard it has 1x - 8pin & 1x - 4pin (form what I can tell only the 8pin is needed though)
GPU is - 1x 8pin only on the 2060 Super (the second cable can be a 6pin as I might upgrade at a later date)
