Hello,
The question is about the purpose of the 12VHPWR connector on the XPG Core Reactor II. If you have a 4080 with an adapter included (since older PSUs don't support 12-pin connectors), you should decide whether to use the adapter which takes up three VGA slots or connect directly to the 12VHPWR connector.
This request avoids the need for an adapter or harness, meaning the harness that comes with the PSU connects directly to the PSU and then to the GPU. I would use the cable provided with the PSU, hanging on... which unit from the series did you select?
This connector is designed for graphics cards with this specific power input. Nearly all of the newest two-generation Nvidia high-performance graphics cards utilize it.
It seems you're asking whether it's better to use the same PSU or switch to a higher wattage one, considering your i7-14700K and Aorus Master 4080. The question is about balancing power needs with the available PSU capacity.
Recommended power supply should be at least 850W.
You are under 20% above the minimum.
Having a bit more capacity is beneficial.
Power supplies usually lose efficiency as they age.
