so what is the extra 6x pin slot on the motherboard for? the motherboard is MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX AM4You will only ever need the 4+4 pin connector with a Ryzen 5 3600, even if you are overclocking.
Ok thank you.The extra 4 pin CPU power connector is in case you have an extremely high-end CPU and want to overclock it with extreme cooling (LN2).
Not needed for your configuration. It will boot and perform 100% without it.
