I've noticed a standard 4-pin molex connector on the motherboard just below the heatpipe which connects the NB and mosfets. It's labeled ATX4P1 and the manual states that it provides extra power to devices using the PCI express slots. The only two expansion slots I'm using are the PCI EXpress x-16 for the video card (an 8800 GTS, which already has its own power connector attached) and a PCI slot for the sound card. Is it necessary for me to plug a molex into this connector?
