MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard Power Cables

[Lance7237]

So I know that I need to connect the 24 pin ATX cable to my motherboard, but I am not sure if I need to connect the other additional 10 pins on the PSU side. I have an EVGA 750w G2 power supply. It came with a motherboard power cable with 24 pins on one end and an 18+10 pins on the other end. Do I need to plug in both the 18 pins and the 10 pins?

Yes, you need to connect it.

Thanks for your help! After a little bit of research, the 18+10 pins is just the power supply's way of separating power forms (5 V, 3.3V, etc). It all makes sense now.
