So I’m using an Asus x570-E for a new build with a Thermaltake Platinum 1200w PSU.

All of a sudden, after not showing the message several times, I get notification before booting to windows that 4-pin is not detected. I have plugged in the 24 pin, the 8 pin, AND the “optional” 4 pin. I did have to “split” the 4 pin from an 8 pin cpu out.
The other issue is the ends that go into the cpu both lead into one male end in the psu, except the “optional” 4 pin for which I used a separate 8 pin cable.

System seems stable, and I’ll try to reseat the cables. I don’t want this message interfering with boot every time, but want to make sure power is flowing. What should I do?
 
Solution
Seems like the MB isn't detecting the 4 pin CPU power.

Looking at the manual it looks pretty straightforward:

You could check the CPU power connection at the board and PSU. You could move the CPU power to another 8-pin as a test based on this picture:
