I know the big 24-pin molex and usually one 8-pin CPU connector are required.
This board (z690 Hero) also has a second 8-pin CPU connector (ATX_12V_2) and an 6-pin "extra PCI-E x16" power connector (PD_12V_PWR), which is says helps PCI-E go from 27w to 60w. I have never heard of this before or had a board that offered either of these additional connections before. Do I need to connect them?
Build is an i7-12700K and a single 3070Ti.
TIA
