Question Be Quiet Pure Power 11 600W Gold & MSI MAG B660M

[darkalexgr]

Greetings, I was thinking about upgrading my parts:

i5 10th gen to i7 12th gen
Corsair 2132 DDR4 16 GB to Kingston Fury Beast 16 GB DDR5 RAM
MSI B460 M PRO tot MSI MAG B660M DDR5
RTX3060-RTX3070 or 3080 (not sure if I will upgrade yet)

My question is that if the PSU (Be Quiet Pure Power 11 600W Gold) is compatible with the motherboard because the motherboard requires 2x8 pin CPU connectors but my PSU only have 1x8 pin. Most people state that the second 8 pin connector is for overclock (which I won't do - only the XMP) but I cannot find anything in the motherboard manual. Do I need to upgrade my PSU? If yes, could you please provide me with a list of recommended PSU that has 2 CPU connectors.

Thank you in advance.

Mag 660 motherboard REQUIRES 2 x 8 be used?

or

Mag 660 motherboard HAS 2 x 8 and you choose to use both if necessary?

I'd guess the latter.

1x 8 pin CPU is fine. You should be more concerned about running a 3080 on a 600w PSU with ACRF platform.
