The Non-Modular area has what i would expect. 1 20-pin and 1 8-pin connector for the Motherboard and CPu. But. one of the modular cables that came with it is another 8 pin connector labeled as "CPU". why it came with that? Are there Motherboards out there that take 2 8 pin connectors to power the CPU? or CPU-S..?

Some high end overclocking boards use 2 - 8 pins for additional power.

1 x 24(20+4)-pin
1 x 8(4+4)-pin ATX12V/EPS12V
1 x 8-pin EPS12V

4 x 8(6+2)-pin PCI-E
9 x SATA
6 x Molex
1x Floppy

Thanks bud :) . i bought my board because i thought it was a great overclocking board (ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark-1). This was my first real build roughly 5 months ago. don't get me wrong. it does what i need it to do. but in the next few years when it is time for an upgrade ill know to go for the Maximus series.

i have my 4670K clocked at 4.4 Ghz set to adaptive at 1.197 volts with offset of + .003.
