    Samoboleon got a reaction from Ben17 in CPU_PWR2 (extra 4pin cpu connector)   
    Recently I've been looking at new parts and planning an upgrade but the new Z390 motherboards require 8pin + 4pin cpu connections.

    My power supply is a corsair rm650i and only has the 4+4pin (8pin) connector. 

    I've already bought an rtx 2080 super and im looking to pair it with an i9 9900k and I will most likely push it to 5ghz on all cores.
     
    I have read online that the second connection may be required for overclocks on both the cpu and gpu which I am likely to do. Should I look into getting a new power supply that supports the extra 4pin power connector?

    I've been looking into corsair's RM850i which has 2x 4+4 cpu cables. If i were to buy this power supply instead, would it be okay to plug in both 4+4+4 and leave the other 4 disconnected?

    I hope I've made this clear.

    damn I wouldn't want to do this and risk breaking anything. I'm far too shaky to be messing with pins lool

    thanks for the suggestion but I don't trust myself to do this
