ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO AMD X870E Power Connection Question

Hey everyone. I am interesting in this motherboard for my Ryzen 9950X build. Problem is, I have no idea what the power connector is next to the 24 pin main power connector. Do I need to plug a power cable to that connection? Or will the 24 pin be fine? My Corsair HX1000i might not have that cable for it.

It's auxillary power for M.2 and PCIe slots. If you fully populated the motherboard, it will be too much for the 24pin.

Just need a spare 6pin pin PCIe cable. Doesn't the HX1000i have 6?

Get your motherboard manual out and read it, that will tell you what you need to know
