Question Gigabyte Z790 8+8 EPS power

[thedoctor712234]

I recently purchased an i9 13900k along with a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX motherboard. I am upgrading my current PC and I planned on keeping my EVGA 650 G3 PSU, but the power supply has only one 8 pin EPS connector, while the gigabyte Z790 motherboard has two 8 pin connectors. I plan on overclocking my CPU, albeit not intensively, should I buy a new power supply with more 8 pin connectors, or would that be unnecessary?

Thumbrule with any build with regards to a PSU is, if your unit lacks the necessary connectors for your components, you either have the wrong components of the wrong PSU for the build.
