I have an asus tuf gaming x-570 plus motherboard which has a 8+4 cpu power connector but my psu only has a 8pin cpu power cable, I've read a lot of forums saying it's fine to use just the 8pin and not the 4pin as long as I'm not doing any extreme over clocking, however I've tried enabling XMP settings in the motherboard BIOS to get my RAM speeds from 2133mhz to 3600mhz but the first and only time I tried this my pc turned off and wouldnt turn back on so I had to take the "flat battery" (like I said I'm new) out of the motherboard to get it to work again.. does anyone know if it's actually safe to use enable XMP without using the extra 4pin power cable.. or know a good 8+4 pin PSU that will fit in a cooler master masterbox MB511 case
