Im just wondering if its enough to put only one 8 pin on cpu power with ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WiFi and AMD Ryzen 7 7700X or i need put power in other 4pin cpu power pls help before I buy thx i have 750w psu but lost cables in moving to new apartment and now I cant find psu power cable po cpu pin thanks for Any answer 

That is enough.  1x8pin CPU power connector is rated for 225w of continous power and 336w in short bursts.  I run my 7700x with only 1x8pin CPU power connector just fine 🙂 Way overkill for this CPU. 7700x has a default TDP of 105w so under half of what the 8pin is rated for. No problem 🙂
The extra 4 pin is there for extreme overclocking, looking good, feature set to put on the motherboard box and slight gimmick.
