I have a 700w thermaltake smart rgb psu and i wanna buy the gaming 7 x470 board will this psu be able to power it if not is there something that i can do apart from changing it

Of course it will power it.

 

Any ATX powersupplies will work with any ATX motherboards.

Why do you have that PSU in the first place?

It will power it, but you should consider replacing it.

It will power on with just the 8 pin. But consider replacing it.

Bad PSUs have a higher likelyhood of causing damage in case something goes wrong, they can shorten the life of whatever you're powering with it, and they are noisier compared to good PSUs.

I know but will it impact preformance and thermals if I only plug in the 8 pin connector???

Then why does it need another 4 pin if it will not affect anything even if it is optional

Because they wanted a cheap gimmick

When did you buy that PSU? And why are you willing to use an over 200$ mobo with a crappy psu?

And no, you won't need the additional 4 pin. They implemented them to say "hehe, we have it bigger

To deliver more power for overclocking.

Eh, if OP OC'd an 8700K really hard then having the extra pins can help.

I don't think the 8700K would work too well with the X470 board. Buildzoid mentioned that it would be fine with just the 8 pin on LN2. I think he'll be fine.

The point is that you have it as an option.
