It seems you're considering running a separate cable for the 4-pin connector. That could be a good idea if you need extra flexibility or want to avoid potential issues with the main signal path. Just make sure it's properly routed and doesn't interfere with other components.
EATX mentions the motherboard is bigger than the ATX size specs, possibly by a few millimeters or inches. It doesn’t reference any electronics details and lacks a pin layout. If your PSU includes the extra cable, it’s not essential and won’t affect performance at all—unless you’re aiming for subambient cooling of a 3950x with liquid nitrogen, which is beyond the power limits even with heavy load.
