So the CPU 4-pin header from my PSU is too short to reach the motherboard. I am waiting for the extensions I bought from Amazon to reach my door (next Tuesday). In the meantime, I tried booting the PC while the 4-pin wasn't connected. Did not boot. The question I need an answer to is "Do I need that 4-pin connected to boot up the PC?" (BTW, my motherboard has bent CPU socket pins. I tried unbending the pins but keep this in mind).
