So I bought an EVGA 220-G5-o650-X1 Super Nova 650 G5 PS.
I didn't think to check my new motherboard, it has an 8 pin EATX and a 4 pin EATX connector.
The power supply shipped with one connector.
I plan to do some "moderate" OC'ing.  And was wondering if I were to buy another EPS cable, could I theoretically plug that into one of the other connections on the back of the PSU?
I'm currently using the 8 pin, but I'd like to ensure the board has enough power.
 
TIA

    You don't need the +4.  Pretend that it doesn't exist, and your life will be great.
     
    The +4 is for subzero LN2 cooling with quadruple the voltage limit on the CPU.

    You could buy and adapter such as a SATA-to-P4 or a Molex/Perif-to-P4 if you have any of those connectors not in use..They can be found cheap just about anywhere PC parts/accessories are sold.

    The extra 4pin there is for overclocking stability..If you're not having any stability issues, don't worry about it.
