New Ryzen Build - Asus Crosshair VI Hero

[Eddie88]

I am upgrading my pc to Ryzen. I have got the Asus Crosshair VI Hero and my psu is Thermaltake 750w EVO Blue 2.0

 

The board has an 8 and 4 pin port to power cpu but my psu only has one EPS/cable with 8 pin socket. I have an adapter cable from a previous evo psu I had which is female 8 pin one end and 8 + 4 pin male on the other. All plugs fit into the board. Question is can I run both the 8 pin and 4 pin cpu power via the one cable with one EPS. Does the board & cpu need to two separate EPS from the psu to avoid over loading/allow different currents similtaneously?

 

I understand the second 4 pin is for extreme overclocking. I Would ideally not want to upgrade psu if I can avoid it.

Check the newegg YouTube that extra 4 pin might be optional and mostly for show as ryzen really isn't that power hungry
