In my opinion, stick with 9920 until we get AGESA 1007.

Just wondering how many people use the additional 4pin CPU on this board, I recently switched cases and wondered if its orthodox running the extra cable
Permabanned
Yeah, its required isnt it? I have the 4 pin connected. Not the 8 next to it though.
Soldato
I have, though it's not required.
Soldato
Just the 8 pin since I installed it, not had any issues without having the additional 4 pin plugged in with a 3.9 clock.
Associate
same here just wondering what other people where doing
Soldato
Don't think it's required unless chasing silly clocks and need more stability, my old VI Formula board you could plug a molex into the bottom of the board to aid but it wasn't required for normal running conditions / clocks.
Soldato
Not required, 4 or 8 pin, not both. On my FX9590 when I was trying to OC, then I had both and the kitchen sink.

I don't think it's 4 or 8 pin. 8 pin normal usage/overclocking. 8 and 4 pin when LN2/extreme overclocking.

Dont think I have an 8 on my psu.....is why I didnt use it. 
*hmm, manual says I should have.......mebbe i should connect it. Running fine though.....

The 8 and 4 pin power the same power plane. Personally I'd feel uncomfortable using just 4 pin plug, I have melted one on a PSU with antique CPU.
I have seen ~340W being pulled from wall plug when running heavy CPU only load tests with CPU OC'd to 3.9GHz @ 1.425V VID, VCORE was much lower. The ~340W is inc screen (MG279Q, ~20W), as it's a 850W PSU the power draw wouldn't have been in it's ideal 'efficiency' range. Probably pulling a bit above 10% more than actual power figure. Then you can subtract some W for other elements of running rig. But you also got to account for peaks of draw above the figures/calc I'm stating.
IIRC the PSU wires can handle ~10A, the terminals in connector can be 8 or 11 or 12 (see link), but then it also depends on power handling of other elements (see link).

Yeah I checked, got the 8 plugged in, 4 not.

All good then IMO .

Just installed the 9920 bios all good so far 3.8ghz 1.26v.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll stick to just the 8pin
Permabanned
Anyone tried 1602 bios. ?
?
Soldato
Consensus is avoid and stick with 9920. 1602 still does not have the cold boot fix that 9920 deploys and it's been stated that the fix will not be rolled out in a non-beta bios until Agesa 1007 hits.
Permabanned
Righto. Happy enough with 9920 at the moment.

Still got the ram speed bug that keeps running it lower speed after a few reboots.
Soldato
What bios are you using?
