does x570 board require two cpu power cables

yeah, that one is good. 

i hooked the extra cable up. it was a bit of pain though with the little amount of space.

there is no such thing as CPU data connector, all data is transmitted through traces in the motherboard. What OP did say is he has got a spare CPU power cable that could occupy the 4pin, which means the 8pin is already connected.

yeah i got the 8 pin hooked up. i just used the extra cable for the 4 pin

he said dont use any pins, use the cpu data connecters instead...

i cant see where you got idea from.

if there is a lack of room, you could allways disconnect it if it gets in the way

i didnt i was just being a bit of idiot making it harder for my self but i got it in anyways

Before switching to the 3900x I was running a 2950x and had burned out the 4 pin with a bad PSU.  When I did my testing it ran fine at stock and that is a 180W "TDP" and a stock 2900x is capped at 142W.  I think you would have a problem with heavy overclocking AND multiple graphics cards though.

 

BtW right now the 4 pin is disconnected because I've been too lazy the orientation doesn't seem to match.

i havent had my power supply for very long never really pushed my old pc through much lol so i think it be fine for years to come

i meantthat he said to use the socket as power, which i dont recomend or such a powerful cpu, the only time you really dont need cpu power connectors is if your using an athlon or a celeron the worst of the potatoes

still cant see where he said that......

i meant that if it is safe to use my extra cpu power cable to fill in the 4 pin slot thats next to the 8 pin slot. i was worried if i hooked up another cable to the slot it damage it.

It was almost 7 years old and had a few years of mining on it.  AND just barely got in it was still under warranty.  I just got a new one and selling the refurb though when it gets to me.

A single 8 pin can easily output up to 384 Watts, there is no way you will go above that on a 3700X even if you were to LN2 overclock it

i would highly reccomend it, otherwise youd have to extremely underclock your cpu.

This is very wrong.  

 

You need the 8 pin, 4 pin is additional power for overclocking

the CPU power connectors are wired in parallel, hooking up extra connectors does nothing bad electrically

"cpu data connector"*sorry i meant the socket...

even then id still recommend using at least one of the conectors, the socket doesnt supply enough for todays standards.

The CPU socket doesn't take even a pinch of power from the ATX24pin (that's my best guess on what you're trying to say), the CPU is exclusively powered by the EPS power connector (the 8pin and 4pin we're talking about). 12V wires in the ATX24pin only powers the PCIe slots and various ICs on the board that runs on 12V.

$700 ASUS Formula or any other x570 motherboard within the $400+ US range, if your going to play battlefeild 5 in rtx dxrr ultra at a decent fps. And a ryzen 3950x r the best prie to performance cpu, the 3900x

This is retarded. I bet you have never used any of these hardware (low to high end) nor seen any benchmarks.

thanks jurrunio. im still new to computer building. i built a pc couple years back with a i5 7600k with both times stressing me out loads lol.
