Hello, your setup involves a 7900X on a B650 Aorus Elite Ax with an 8-pin CPU connector and an M.2 8+4 PCIe slot. You're wondering if you need a new cable or if it should work with the existing components.

The additional 4-pin connector is just for heavy overclocking; it's not required for regular use. The standard 8-pin connector works fine for everyday operation.

Absolutely. Please utilize the single 8-pin option.

Usually the 8-pin CPU/EPS connector can be split into two 4-pin sections. On bigger or newer power supplies with multiple CPU cables, you get four pairs on each side. As mentioned, anything beyond eight pins is generally unnecessary.
