Do i have to connect both ATX power connectors? on Maximus VI Formula

Do i have to connect both 8 pin EATX12V_1 and 4 pin EATX12V_1 connectors?

Those are the power connectors for the CPU... the best is to connect both of them (won't get higher electricity bill)... - even if you're not OC'ing the power will be more balanced...

No, the 8pin is the important one for normal running. But the extra 4pin is recommended for OCing...and if you have the connections available for normal use too, since it will help spread load and should give more stable power. 🙂

In an age of free will and choice you do not have to do anything I guess. Is it a good idea to populate both connectors YES. 🙂

My Sarte' moment is now over for the day, and all existentialist may breath a sigh of relief.
