ROG Formula VI

Hello,

..I have this Motherboard and anCorsair TX750M PSU.. I see that the MB It has a 8pins and another 4pins power for the cpu. Do i need a new PSU with 12pins for this MB or It will work with 8pins only? I hope I made this pretty clear.

Your PSU does have a 8 pin and a 4 pin right? Just plug them in?

[_ASSASSIN_]

install just the 8 pin and it will work, the 4 pin is for even more unneeded power

The 4-pin is optional. Just plug in the 8-pin and you'll be fine.

Have this MB. You can plug 8-pin or 4-pin or even 4 into 8-pin.

I have this MB too. In my case the advertised headphone amp only works, if I connect the headphones to the front I/O. Please confirm or contradict.

Tbh, I don't even think a LGA 1150 chip can even use the power from the 4 pin.  I'm not 100% sure how accurate this is, but it says 336 watts for the 8 pin EPS alone:

If that's true, odds are the only way you're gonna hit that limit is with a 2011 chip on ln2, or a 7 jiggabeet 4770k
