Do you have to connect the 2nd ESP connector?

Arhub

My pc has a  MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON motherboard that has an 8 pin and a 4 pin EPS connector. Im currently searching for a PSU, but most of the good ones have either only one 4+4 EPS connector or are out of stock. So my question is do you have to connect the other 4 pins? Im planning on getting a R5 3600 btw

No. The 4pin connector is optional. The Ryzen 3600 does not consume anywhere near enough power to require the second connector. Plug in the 8pin EPS12V connector and you'll be good.

According to buildzoid you will never need more than an 8 pin unless you are using LN2 but it's mostly for over amperage control at that point

Pretty much what's been mentioned above, you don't need it.

You'll run into VRM/CPU thermal limitations on that board long before you reach the limit of a single 8-pin EPS.

It really isn't needed, I have overclocked my CPU to hell and back and not once have I needed to use the second EPS connector

PSA: No, I didn't waste all that money on computers, (except the main one) my server cost $40, the intel NUC was my old PC (although then it had 8GB of ram, I gave the bigger stick of ram to a person who really needed it), my laptop is used and the second PC is really cheap.

I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day)

Not sure why no one else has said it but here's the real reason you don't need a 2nd ESP connection: ESP doesn't actually exist on computers. It's mostly associated with living humans.
