MSI Z270 M7 build

So i did a build with the new i7-7700k.

The motherboard has a (4+4) 8pin connector on the motherboard combined with a separate 4 pin connector for the cpu.

I've only connect the 4+4 pin and not the separate one. Can this lead to any problems in the future?

Atm everything is running pretty solid, except for the temperatures of the cpu.

It is only acting up when i run csgo, idle temps are between 25°c - 30°c.

When running csgo it's around 70°c.

The extra 4 pin is only for extra power when doing heavy overclocking
