Hello, your build is complete. Do you really need a second CPU connector? It’s recommended, but since you’re short on time, you didn’t take the time to disassemble again. You got a new MSI Pro B650-S with Wi-Fi Mobo and your Ryzen 5 8600G worked fine with just one. Your power setup includes DDR5 Viper Venom 5600 MHz, an MSI RTX 3070 dual GPU, and a 750-watt power supply. Based on that, do you still need the extra CPU connector? Thanks!
Typical MSI boards work well at 1W. It only becomes an issue when you aim for more than 300 watts, like with the 7950X running around 200W—then you might need it for cooling or overclocking attempts. The second connector is usually unnecessary.
Sure, I can do that. Running my MSI board with a single connector works just fine for me.
I think it shouldn't be a problem unless it impacts how your computer runs. It might show up as display driver conflicts or incompatibilities if graphics drivers were downloaded. If that happens, remove it and DDU, then reinstall just the Nvidia drivers. But honestly, I thought it wouldn't be an issue.
