Power connection on the Maximus VI Formula

[rolldog]

I'm trying to finish up my build, and I have a question. I'm running the Asus Maximus VI Formula motherboard and I'm using a Corsair ax1200i modular power supply. Do I need to plug in the 24 pin power adapter, the 8 pin power adapter, and the 4 pin power adapter? The manual was kind of confusing saying if I could plug in the entire 24 pin adapter, then I wouldn't need to plug in one, or both, of the 4 pin and 8 pin power adapters. The manual showed different scenarios with different connections, but to me it came across as if you have the full 24 pin adapter, which plugs in next to all the SATA connectors on the right side when looking at it installed in the case, then you might not need the 8 pin and/or the 4 pin power adapter. I just want to make sure before I turn it on. Thanks.

24 + 8 HAVE to be connected.
the 4pin is for high OC, but wont be wrong to connect it if you want to, and connect the molex cable too.

The molex at the bottom of the board? On the row with the USB 2.0 pins?

That molex is for extra power to the vga's I always plug it in..

Yea, my 780ti probably needs more power than the other 2 power adapters plugged into it. Thanks a lot for the info. I really appreciate it.
