I've found that even with a single GPU along with other non-GPU PCIE cards that it is a good idea to plug in that supplemental power connection.
On my X79 Dark and a single GPU and a single discrete RAID card, the board would fail to full POST 80 to 90% of the time without that supplemental power plugged in. I've continued that practice with the X99 as well, and havent had that issue yet.
