Hey all so I bought a ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming and the cpu power has a 8 pin connector and a 4 pin connector beside it do I need to plug in both or am I fine doing the 8? I would need to buy a new psu since i lost my cords to the one I have now which isnt a problem

the 8 pin is needed but that extra 4 pin is for overclocking
