MSI Z87 MPower Motherboard has 2 x 8 pin CPU connectors labelled JPWR2 and JPWR3. Do both need to be connected to the power Supply?

I only received one cable with the Corsair Power supply and the MSI manual is rather vague. Allit says is "These connectors allow you to connect an ATX power supply."

It can be powered on using the single 8 pin connector.
The second one is just for boasting super overclocks and breaking records stuff.
(I have powered a Z87 mobo even with 4pin ATX power connector but keeping in mind the fact that the system was in stock condition)
