ATX12V and EZ_PLUG Power Connectors on MB

Recommended Posts

Is it required to connect the EZ_PLUG 4-pin Molex in addition to the ATX12V (4 or 8 pin) for extra power to a DVR card?

 

Also, what is the diff between the 4 and 8 pin ATX12V connectors? My MB has a removable cap over 4 of the connectors and my PSU has both 4 and 8 pin connectors. Extra power for the CPU? Or perhaps for an SLI setup with 2 video cards?

 

I have a PCI-E video card and just wondering if I need to connect both, or if it hurts to have both connected regardless. I have no intention of running 2 PCI-E cards with SLI, even though this card is SLI compatible.

Generally I've only seen that on SLI boards. But it's probley not going to harm it to plug in all 8.
