Typically, you don't require the 4-pin EPS connector; the 8-pin version is sufficient. The 4-pin is just necessary for liquid nitrogen overclocking or when using several high-power video cards.

It's optional; a single 8-pin connector can deliver up to 384W of power, sufficient for any current AM4 CPU. The additional pin is reserved for heavy overclocking, such as LN2 overclocking, where ambient conditions make it difficult otherwise.
