Hi there,

I've the Asrock X370 Professional Gaming Motherboard paired with a Seasonic Prime 650 W Titanium.

the CPU power connector on the motherboard is 8 pin while the PSU has x2 4 pin connectors.

It's a little unclear from the manual if I'm supposed to connect just one of the 4 pin connectors or both 4 pin connectors.

Would appreciate if anyone could clarify this for me, may thanks.
