No, the extra 4-pin is useless in this case. The single 8-pin can supply up to 384W of power, which you won't be reaching with that board and a 9700K unless you're planning on LN2 overclocking. You're good with just the 8-pin.

Yes you should bcs your motherboard will not get enough power.

Not true

What’s LN2 overclocking ?

Overclocking to the extreme using liquid nitrogen as cooling solution.

Extreme overclockers use liquid nitrogen (which is what LN2 stands for) to get to subzero temps on CPUs (among other components) in order to reach frequencies which you couldn't with regular air or water cooling, because of thermal constraints.

He will have enough power to start CPU, but he will start having problems with additional fans with AIO and do not even try to OC bcs there goes his PC

It's not true. As I said previously, unless you're extreme overclocking, there's no way you can pass the 384W the single 8-pin can supply (or even 480W on some connectors, not sure if that kind is present on OP's board). Even if you overclock a 9900K you'll run into thermal limitations long before you pass even ~250W on most cooling solutions.

There's surely people that know more than me that also confirmed that there's no point in having more than an 8-pin on mainstream consumer grade motherboards, so if you don't believe me, I'd look into it some more. Buildzoid talked a fair bit about it iirc when all the X570 boards launched and they all had 8+4 EPS on them.

So you have 4 PCI conectors, so whats the problem take two 4pins conectors  and plug thm it in damn motherboard.

It’s got 1 4 pin connector not an 8 connector silly read the original post and title dude
