I recently purchased a Ryzen 9 5900X for my X570 TUF Gaming Plus and sought some more informed advice. Should I connect the extra 4-pin power connector for the CPU? I already have the 8-pin setup, but I’m finding it hard to find the additional PSU cables because the unit is modular. Do I really need that extra cable? Thanks!

You likely don’t need additional CPU power connectors based on your PSU model (you can verify this in the included cables). It should work well at default speeds, though adding a 4-pin connector is suggested for advanced overclocking.

No, the 4 pin isn't necessary.
