   I have 2 8pin connections on the top left of my z490 taichi motherboard. Right now I'm just using one. Should I use both or should I be good with just the one? 
   
  I wanna go over 5gz so just seeing if connecting the extra 8pin would benefit me in the long run for stable OC Thanks Z490 Taichi i9 10900k at 5Ghz 2080 super 16gb ram  |
