Hello, so I have a z790 board with the i9-13900k in it, the board takes 8+8 pin power for the CPU. However my PSU only has 8+4 pin...
Is it okay to run 8+4 pin until I can upgrade the PSU?
Its a 750w unit which is at its knees especially since the 13900k is paired with an RTX 3080.

Yes

#

The 4-pin can go into the 8-pin connector on one side

I turned off MCE to ensure the chip dosnt draw more then its rated 254w
