[SOLVED] MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus

[CowboyFromRamRanch]

Hello, i have a question about a motherboard i think of buying:

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z490-GAMING-PLUS

my cpu will be the 10700K and the motherboard has a 4 + 8 pin power connector and i was wondering if i need both to overclock or i choose between the 4 or the 8 pin. Also, which corsair power supply has a 8 + 4 pin connector.

Thanks in advance

The 8pin ATX12V/EPS connector has to be connected
the additional 4pin is for extreme overclocking

Corsair PSUs with 8+4 pin connectors:

and when i looked at the user manual it apparently only takes 1x 4 pin (PWM) for the fans and a 3pin for the pump, so all together i only will need these 2 connectors on the motherboard for just the aio, right?

The motherboard has 1x4pin water pump connector (can be used with a 3pin ) and 6x 4-pin system fan connectors, which can be used with 3pin connectors

yes, the fan headers are kind of universal
