Question ROG STRIX B650E-E GAMING WIFI with only 1 x 8-pin EPS power cable - will it work?

[fylyp]

Hi,

I've just recently bought the rog strix motherboard and newest ryzen 5 7500f.
I prefere to stay with my old PSU - Seasonic SSR-650FX but it only has one cpu power cable.
My question is this motherboard and this cpu will run on that setup? Or i have to buy new PSU?
I've check manual from asus, but there was no information about connecting only one 1x8 eps power cable.
Thanks for helping me!

Best regards

Yes, no problem. The 2nd 8 pin is only necassary when you OC the sht out of a 7950X.
