Hello, your system seems to be working well during the pre-build test. For the 4-pin connector next to the 8-pin one, you don’t need to use it unless you plan to install a specific component there. Since you haven’t used it in testing, just leave it unplugged or keep it disconnected.

The extra four pins for CPU power are not required and can be omitted.

You're raising a concern about the manual's instructions. It seems there might be confusion regarding whether the device requires power or not. Let me clarify that for you.

The video suggests checking earlier parts, even though the manual advises using just one. It also notes that having all connectors connected might be useful for future overclocking attempts. This discussion might capture your original concern more clearly.

The 8pin CPU power cable supports around 340W, and the socket typically handles a bit more. Few CPUs exceed this even when overclocked. Which CPU are you using?

If you need a strong boost with liquid nitrogen, sure. Otherwise, it's not necessary.

The 4-pin connector is intended for extra power during overclocking, though as mentioned earlier, it's mainly used for very high-end overclocking. The 8-pin connector can handle regular overclocking without exceeding its limits under typical cooling conditions.
