I want to mount an Intel Core i5-13600K processor on a Gigabyte B660M motherboard. The motherboard has two sockets for CPU to connect to PSU: 8pin+4pin.
Shall I use all pins or shall I use only the 8-pin connector?
Does the BIOS version you are using support 13th Gen processors? You might need to update the BIOS first and you might need to install a 12th Gen CPU first to do that.
Check your motherboard manual. Some motherboards work OK with only the one 8 pin power connector installed into the motherboard.

You cannot overclock a 13600K on a B760 board so only plugging in one 8 pin power connector should be enough.
When overclocking a 10850K, I can pull over 300W without any problems with just a single 8 pin power connector going to the motherboard. A 13600K will need less power than that.
