Once upon a time

Shirley the 8 pin connector is for the CPU and the 6 pin supply is for a graphics card.  At least that's what I thought but Google suggests that some boards use the 6 pin connector for a CPU as well. My mobo (Gigabyte Z97x plus some letters and numbers) has an 8 pin connector. The CPU is an i5 Haswell chewing through 88W.

Linustechtips.com tells me that a 4 pin connection supports 155 watts and is intended for CPUs with low to mid-range greediness. An 8 pin connection supports 235 watts and is intended for hobs, room-heaters and the like. You should be absolutely fine.

Linux being linux there's always one quirk.
S3 suspend doesn't work correctly. It won't wake up properly.

If it's the same problem as this:

comment no.19 sez a kernel downgrade fixes the issue.

tested hibenate-resume cycles with a couple of other 4.13 kernels:
4.13.0.16 - works
4.13.0.21 - works
4.13.0.25 - broken
4.13.0.30 - broken (from Canonical Kernel Team PPA)

Oh thanks. And apparently 4.14.14 works. I'll give one a go.

Finally fixed at some point between Kernel 4.16.11 and 4.17.4!!
