Why does the X670 Steel Legend Mobo have TWO 8pin 12V power connectors? Do I need to use both?

No, you only need to connect 1 of them.

Why are there two of these connectors? What is the benefit to connect to both?
Thanks. |

it is to provide more power to the CPU, probably beyond 250watt, so no practical benefits
