I just got my hands on the Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro and I spotted in the manual that it has the standard 8-pin ATX_12V power port for the CPU but it also has a 4-pin CPU power port labelled ATX_12V1. I plan to pop my Ryzen 7 3700X into the motherboard and power it with a Corsair HX850i, so far things have been fine on my MSI B450 Tomahawk with only the 8-pin CPU power connector plugged in because that's all it has, i'm just switching motherboards because of POSTing issues that are widespread on the Tomahawk board.
So my question is: Should things run fine if I just use the bigger 8-pin ATX_12V CPU power connector? It's important to note I don't plan on doing any overclocking what-so-ever outside of Precision Boost Overdrive, which again has not caused any stability issues on my B450 Tomahawk.
From my research the extra 4-pin CPU power connector is for extra stability and power delivery to the CPU for extreme overclocking, but I would just like a solid answer before I go and melt something, thank you in advance
