I use it alongside a 13600kf and a 360 aio liquid freezer

You might not use both because they serve different purposes or have conflicting requirements.

The additional four-pin connector is mainly beneficial for the 13900K model. The EPS connectors are connected in parallel, meaning as long as at least one is connected, you should be fine. If you don’t have a spare four-pin from your power supply, there’s no need to worry about acquiring one.

My PSU only has 3x8-pin connectors—two for the GPU and one for the CPU. That means the remaining four pins are unused. It should handle up to 50 watts, right? Sounds good.

It seems better to skip the 4pin to CPU setup compared to using a dual 8pin for my GPU... I plan to try again tomorrow once the DDR5 arrives. I haven't booted it yet.
