Got lucky and scored a slick browser refresh before the stock checkers got it and got myself a i9-9900k in the mail. Getting ready to finalize the rest of the build.
 
I was planning to pair it with the EVGA Z390 FTW board but noticed that it has a single 8pin EPS connector. I've seen mixed reviews of power consumption but a handful show the chip alone drawing near or exceeding 250w when overclocked.
 
To my understanding an 8pin connector gives 235w, so I guess how much power from the board itself gets allocated to the CPU from the main board power connector? And is that enough extra juice for this chip? 

One EPS is more than enough. With a good PSU and cable/connection you're good up to about 300W and the only way to draw anything close to that on a 9900k is with exotic sub-ambient cooling. The CPU will thermal throttle even on water before you get anywhere close to that.
 
That said, it wont hurt anything. It won't help either.

A single 8-pin eps is rated for 235w with a peak of 336w under perfect conditions. Not sure how much the cpu will draw from the 24-pin.

This is the kind of answer I was looking for. Obviously the PC will likely never even need 235w, my concern was the "if it actually does"... It's nice to know there is a peak over the "rated".
 
Thank you Sajin. 

Question is does EVGA split the sockets / VRM power phases. Or are they running the sockets in parallel and all phases draw from a unified power plane?
