yes i did but do i need to power this 4 pin connector there were no fitting cable by the power adapter so i yoused a spare one

without that extra 4 pin, you actually won't run into any issues. The 8 pin you already have supplies so much power that you're basically all set. Even though the PC should run fine with that extra 4 pin, I would just ignore it.

Usually this is for additional power for the CPU when CPU overclocking (even though it's really not needed). It's fine to run the system without it. It's optional.

Thank you, I will remove it and ignore it in the future
