Should I connect a Molex cable to the PCIe-PWR1 slot?
My motherboard is MSI B360 GAMING ARCTIC, my processor is i7 8700 no k, and my graphics card is the KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070 Ti EX SNIPER. My power supply is EVGA 650 GQ, 650W. Help me please.

    I don't understand the meaning of your question. A Molex cable on the PCIe-PWR1! Does the manual say that the PWR1 connector should be connected to the power supply? It seems to me that PWR1 is a Reset connector.

      Ps. These may be the power connectors of the GPU designated as PWR1 and PWR2, one with 6 pins and the other with 8 pins. Your power supply is equipped with 4 PCI-E power cables with 8 pins (6+2). Therefore, you don't need a Molex/PCI-E adapter at all. The 8 pin cables consist of connectors with 2 blocks. One is 6 pins and the other is 2 pins. If it's a 6-pin connector, you only plug in the 6-pin part, leaving the 2-pin part unused. If it's an 8-pin connector, you plug in the 6-pin part + the 2-pin part side by side.
