The additional 6 pin is there for overclocking. An 8 pin limits power consumption to 180w I believe. The 6 pin allows for a higher max power consumption, In theory that would lead to a higher overclock. Power consumption with the same clock rate is the same as the FE.

And yes your motherboard works just fine with a 1070. What CPU do you have? you don't wanna bottleneck the card.
