Cpu - Motherboard Concerns

[Skeys]

Hi guys thats my first time here, i have a big problem right now, i just bought a new machine and i realized i might cheaped with the motherboard, my concerns are the following:

 

i've bought a 7820x with a x299 aorus gaming 3, that has an extra 8 pin conector, but i've seen the x7 and x9 got 2x8 pin on it. 

 

do you think im fine with just 1 8 pin to overclock this chip? do i need 2 of em? 

 

thanks in advance and sorry if i commited any mistakes im just a noob

If its needs two, chances are you're going to need two to overclock that chip. It's probably power hungry, and might choke on just one connector. Just return the motherboard and get another??

The only reason you might want two 8pin CPU connectors is that the VRMs and PSU cables doesnt get overheated. It will depend on the powerdraw of the CPU/Overclock if one 8pin is sufficient or not. But from the pictures of the Aorus gaming 3 it has a beefy VRM cooler, i also think it'll be fine.

This cpu looks kinda power hungry 140w on stock i guess it goes to ≈200... but if u say i'll be probably ok i'll give it a chance, the next option includes wifi (don't need that)  and its like +200€. i've got a good 1250w titanium and  i'll be also runing SLI 1080ti,

 

i guess it will arrive in a week or so. i'll post my experience here

 

Thanks !!
