| 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 ------------- asrock b650m/hdv.m2, ryzen 7700x@85watt |
