You don't need the extra 4-pin. You'll run into thermal limitations either on the motherboard's VRMs and/or the CPU itself before you reach the threshold of a single 8-pin EPS connector.

A single 8pin eps can provide up to 380ish Watts 

You won't be needing the other one unless your LN ocing or something

Not needed , use the 8 pin CPU cable you have on that great PSU. It provides plenty of power.
