Put the 4+4 connectors together and it makes an 8 pin connector. The ROG Strix 750W PSU comes with two 4+4 cables so if you want to plug in the extra 4pin connector as well just use one of the 4pin connectors from the second CPU power cable.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

I got myself a 8 pin cable and ill use the one of 4+4 for the overclocking connector
