Do I need to worry about the extra 4 pin cpu power plug on the Strix B-650E-F gaming? Or is it just for overclocking? I have an 850 watt PSU but all of its CPU cables are just 8 pin no 4+4, could I plug in an 8 pin to half? Or just not worry about it?

CPU - Ryzen 9 7900x 

Motherboard - ASUS B650E-F ROG STRIX GAMING WIFI AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard
RAM - G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000
GPU - Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

It's just there so clueless people can "feel" like they get more performance from their CPU, "feel" like they can overclock better etc. Don't worry about it

Cool thank you! I was confused and just wanted to be sure. Cause I couldn't really find anything besides some random crap online
