Will my PSU handle my build?

As long as you don't OC manually you'll be fine. Just enable PBO and let it auto tune

Hello! I have a Corsair Cx750M (2017) as my power supply. I just bought as 3900x, and on pcpartpicker I'm told that my motherboard has an extra 4 pin for extra wattage on top of the normal 8 pin. I'm told that my PSU doesn't have the extra 4 pin cable. 

 

Is this an issue? Or is the extra 4 pin only for extreme overclocking?

 

Here is my build if you need to check anything out

 

P.s. don't mind the $300 AIO. It's a price placeholder for a custom loop.

No worries. The extra 4 pin will not be needed. You have enough power. Enjoy your 3900X.

Alright, good to know. Thanks

Thanks, I will! I'm coming from a 6700k so it should be a huge jump in performance. I can't wait for it to arrive!
