Question 12v2 only with 4 pin ?

[Mahisse]

Psu: xfx pro 650w semi modular

So I messed up and only plugged in the 4 pin 12v2 on my motherboard and didn't plug in the 12v1 connectors. When I start up the pc the bios tells me it's recommending to plug in 4 more pins.

Now the problem is that I need to take off my cooler, which means I may need to start from scratch since the cooler is mounted on the back of the board.

Anyway, the PC runs fine so far and I'm wondering how important it will be to get the last connectors in there. I game but do not intend to oc. I run a 1660 ti as GPU.

So can I just be happy with only 4 pins into the 12v2, or do I need to plug in the rest of the connectors in 12v1 as well?

CPU is 12700k

4 pins is rated/spec'd at 155w max.
The 12700k can hit 180w under full non-user-overclocked loads.
I'd suggest installing the 12v1 plug.

OK thanks. I guess I just didn't want to do it.
