Just to fill in the blanks here, I do all my testing on a bench rig that holds a 1200w PC Power & Cooling psu.

Current builds contain a Evga LE mb/920 DO using a Corsair 850w psu. Of course the LE mb has only one 12v cpu conn. I am using a minimal gpu in it and it runs 4.2GHz HT on/4.5GHz HT off under water with no problems.

I am testing a Evga P55 FTW mb/i5 670 atm @ 4.7GHz. It has two 12v mb conn. on the board and was curious as to the effects of using just one in the final build.

Just use one 8pin while testing then bro. I don't think the i5's need two no matter what speed you oc them to. They are rated at something like 65w tdp.

I say if the second one is there, it's there for a reason and should be used - dammit lol

I still need to setup my P55 Classy but I have a "spare" TT 1200 toughpower so I'll be using both 8 pins anyway

Good luck bro
