ASUS POWER TO GO 8 MANUAL
Understand you walked in here spouting this off in the face of decades of experience and motherboard manual instructions. There is no need to be standoffish about things either. Note I've reviewed a lot more than 4 X570 boards, and those with only 8-pins, the CPU reached the same clockspeed as boards where there were two plugs. My 3700x (which uses more power and has more cores and threads) hit its maximum with only the 8-pin. PS - I can tell you across at least 4 different x570 boards I've reviewed, the additional 4/8 pin didn't matter. How does it actually help? You understand correlation is not causation, yes? Here is what Asus says - "Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug, OR connect both the 8-pin and 4-pin power plugs.".

So all you have is a result derived from a method we question. Demonstration of the ASUS BT GO Feature on the P8Z68-V Pro motherboard.Full review can be found here. All we are saying is there is likely another reason which caused the increase. Silentbogo mentioned a possible reason you saw improvements (though I question your/the OP's testing method). Using them doesnt enable more vrms or anything. Using a 4 pin is no different that having switching from a 500W psu to a 750W psu when your system only uses 300W max.

Which, btw provides 235W of power while your cpu at 4.2 ghz isnt close to that value. I can tell you across over 15 years of doing this they never made a damn bit of difference for me except when extreme overclocking (meaning ln2 and crazy ass clocks) and you are going past the specification of the 8-pin.

If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power company. Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit. What motherboard do you have in the first place? Which evga psu exactly? Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. Click to expand.Well, most motherboard instructions typically state these are optional.(or use wording with a single connector even though the board has two) that's why we feel this way (among experience trying).
