I'm checking the PCPartPicker list. The PSU doesn't have an extra 4-pin connector for an additional 12V. It seems unlikely you'll need it unless you plan to upgrade later or overclock. No issues expected at the moment. Thanks!

Are you asking about four PCIe connectors or a 4-pin EPS?

I've noticed the PSU has an 8-pin EPS connector, but I'm not sure why it's missing from some sources.

Yes, the PSU includes 8-pin connectors. The motherboard requires a 4-pin connector to provide an additional 12 volts.

The board supports both 8-pin and 4-pin EPS connectors. This allows you to use either or both, depending on your needs. More pins generally mean higher power and current capacity. You're comfortable using just the 8-pin connector, even if a 4-pin version is available. Your preferred CPU might require a (non-existent) 2-pin EPS connection.
