I have an 8pin + 4pin power connector for the cpu, would it be bad if I only run the 8pin?

All I ever do at this point is play Destiny 2.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's kinda sad...

What motherboard and cpu? The extra 4pin is usually not needed and only useful for extreme oc'ing.

Yep, the extra 4pin is far from necessary.
