Hey yall.

Just bought an MSI K9N2 Platinum SLI board, and I'm not too sure about a few different features on this board.

It has a 4/8 pin 12v power connector on it, with 4 of those pins closed off with a little plastic piece.

My first question is, if I have the connector on my PSU to attach all 8 pins, do I just use the 8 pin connector, or stay with the 4pin?

Also, whats with the 4pin molex connector just above the first PCIe slot? Do I need to attach something to it?
