The motherboard has 12 pins, yet the power supply only supports 8 pins.

I reclaim my earlier comments about the additional 4-pin connector—it’s only essential if you’re clocking the CPU, otherwise it’s not necessary. For extra power, it would be better to choose a device with a bit more capacity, since you can’t always predict what components might require energy.
